Here’s a pretty intriguing post by Gary Ashwill that talks about Jimmy Bonner, a trailblazing African-American player in Japan that mentions an article I did for SF Weekly. But more importantly, it reveals the complex, interwoven tapestry of baseball among all people of color in the world. It is all indeed connected.
If you don’t already, make a habit of dropping by Gary’s blog, agatetype.typepad.com. Gary has been a huge help and source of support in my work, for which I am extremely grateful and his his debt.
