Article...
This article from yesterday's Inquirer caught my eye: it is about the Phils sorry history on race-relations. Well written by Frank Fitzpatrick, it illustrates not only how ugly the Phils racism was back in the '50s, but also how counter-productive it was too: the Phils passed on African-American talent all of the time (possibly including Roy Campanella and Willie Mays) and dramatically fell behind the Giants, Dodgers and Braves in talent.
Worth reading.
