Jake Powell's bigoted folly, from Steve Wulf | Rereading Sport (DΓ©jΓ  vu audio) When a Yankee made a racist remark live on radio in 1938, it was the beginning of the end of baseball's racist line, and a timeless warning for sports figures who carry on as if cruelty is the point.

Remember, sports people bending the knee are just following the folly of Jake Powell. An 'on this day in baseball' that's *just* a bit outside what you normally get.

Tom Boswell, on anxiety and grief via bΓ©isbol | Rereading Sport (DΓ©jΓ  vu audio) Toronto and Detroit both being in first place in their respective MLB divisions evokes a lesson from the before times (before wild cards, anyway) and some classic prose from 'Chairman Boz.'
