Bad at math? Wildly jumping to conclusions without knowing all the facts?
Mark DeRosa might be a bad manager but he’s doing an excellent job representing the United States.

Except “coding” is not “software development” in the same way that “handwriting”/“typing” is not “writing”/“sensemaking” — they confuse the existence of *an* end product for *the right* end product, the process of determining “right, why the process is important, etc.
Welp, once again. Like clockwork.
I love that your work is reclaiming Black history and present day Black experiences lost by flattening and segregating Black and Latin identity as our own. Something that we, as Black Americans from the U.S., can embrace. I’m bringing a Pan-African approach to studying the game. Baseball is the last place where these intersecting identities should be erased. The anticolonial elements of Black baseball culture do not get emphasized enough. You had, less than 100 years ago, Black players from Cuba and Alabama playing across the United States and the Americas. Black baseball players who were discriminated in their hometowns were treated like celebrities in South America. Before Jackie Robinson was allowed to play on a Major League field, he did a tour of Venezuela alongside Josh Gibson and other Negro League stars. There's an idiom in Venezuela that’s something like “Don’t pull a Willie Mays.” Why? Because when Willie Mays was in the Venezuelan Winter League, he struggled for a week. That’s the level of cultural impact they had. I want to preserve those stories.
Pat dropped so many gems about why we, as Black Americans, should embrace the fullness of Black history across the diaspora. He provides a model of solidarity I think we can all share.

I don’t mean to be rude but I literally don’t know what any of you expected from rich white kids who became millionaires playing in a sport dominated by rich white kids with a legacy of terrible culture and brain damage
Might be a good time to remember that each of us is profoundly annoying to someone.
