OF COURSE IT'S THE WHITE GUY

Well, with all of this hubub regarding the breaking (or at least matching) of Roger Maris' homerun record I had to put in my two cents. I am begining to think that God himself is racist. Here's this great race - two guys, one white and one black, who get along really well. And they're racing to beat this record for the most homeruns in a season set by Roger Maris, years ago. The white guy grew up in a healthy family and went to the University of Southern California. This guy has all the breaks. And of course, he is #1 in line to beat the record. The black guy is a former shoe-shine boy. He didn't go to college, having grown up in the Dominican Republic, playing stickball in bare feet, using an empty milk carton as a glove. When he made it big in the majors, he sent loads of money home, buying his mother FOUR homes. This guy has come so far, yet fate, God, the powers that be, whomever, have put him in second place. Life sucks that way. He's come so far, but unless he breaks the record first, he will most likely be forgotten. I just wish fate, or God or whomever could just see fit to let this poor guy pass this white guy who has had loads of breaks. Give the black man a break.
