He is such a talent, but in my eyes he's not a Yankee until he starts stirrin' the drink. You should have yelled his way to stop hitting into so many dps with money on the line.

No disrespect to Willie, but older cats in my family couldn't stand him. As far as the media...they see their sons.... They don’t care about that shit.

The segment which I watched at a bar (closed captions) talked about how the Giants created this Man-Child persona to infantilize Mays and offer a paternalistic Sosa-esque image of a "happy" Negro running around the field of dreams. As I've always said, Barry Bonds would have had to be a COMPLETE fool to have a loving, trusting open relationship with the American media. That same media trafficked in the worst types of imagery in characterizing his own father and god father. In other words, how stupid do the writers really think he is? Just off the plantation dumb? Just off the boat dumb? Mizzo:

Please let me know if I'm the idiot. I get this all the time. I don’t know if you were joking, so maybe I’m the ass, but Fernando pitched a no-hitter the same day as Stewart.
