Mr. Hagen, once again a reserved like because of the Barry Bonds mention. I loved Bobby Bonds and saw him play at Dodger Stadium. In 1973 (age 12) I was asked by a newspaper who my favorite baseball player was and I replied, Hank Aaron. All the other guys gave me a hard time because they thought Bobby Bonds was. So, it turns out I'm your moms age.
For a little more perspective on race relations you should investigate pre vs. post "Great Society" legislation and read some Walter Williams. He argues and I believe him that black families were more affluent in the pre era.
Oh, and I think the Supreme Court ruled againt an amendment to the Voting Rights Act not the act itself. I think. Good stuff and take care.
Your answer of Hank Aaron certainly aged well and is unequivocally true as to their respective careers, but in 1973 your friends had a point! I need to write a long article about Bobby and Barry at some point.
I do need to read Professor Williams. The points are valid. I don’t think anyone would argue the Great Society legislation turned out how was intended.
The guys thought Bobby Bonds was a better player.
