what a jack ass. Massachusetts is about as liberal a state as they come, and the 2 most popular Red Sox players over the past 10 years have both been Dominican.

Just an extension on this - While the Sox were sticking to their caucasian guns, they chose not to sign Willie Mays, one of the best half-dozen players in history and Bonds' godfather. Probably where BB got the idea.
