It pains me to see any one who feels disenfranchised and marginalized in our society--if it offends any one--why can't we remove it? It especially saddens me, because I love baseball--and a lot of US love baseball.

The American Indian Education Center filmed verbally abusive fans at today's game opener. AIEC Director Robert Roche is seen here. Imagine his childhood. His daughter is shown above.

The statue is a fitting tribute--it was photographed
by countless baseball fans, yesterday.
Baseball and farming, and I had the best of both worlds.
