Bill Rhoden did not enjoy Hamilton’s show last night.

Love how he complains there’s no hispanics, then in his list of examples he mentions Ryan Howard and Ken Griffey Jr. African-American, Rick.

I guess Reilly wasn’t reading SI last November, calling Sizemore a ‘white guy.’

From Nov. 21 2007. Tom Verducci article:

“As someone who turned down the chance to play quarterback at the University of Washington, as well as someone who said he hopes he can inspire other black athletes to play baseball ( Sizemore ’s father, Grady, is African-American and his mother, Donna, is white), Sizemore is a timely role model for baseball.”

Actually there was one guy who is a racial minority in the HR Derby.

Grady Sizemore. One of his parents is black. There was a photo of him with them in an SI cover story last year. And the article mentioned something about African-Americans.

This was seriously a discussion here..and TBL you saw the validity…ok..so when all of the Latin guys and black guys are asked and they say no? And you fill the HR contest with who says yes..find me the fucking racism..there is none…it is worse to force someone to do it..to force a lation guy in for having a Latinos sake that is racism..that is phoney and that is FUCKING GARBAGE..get over yourself. and Rick Reilly can go fuck himself.

I’m angry because Josh Hamilton stole my 8 ball, but the good news is someone told me today that I can turn a phrase like a hooker turns her ass cheeks into a nose. So I got that going for me.

@younghermit: No shit. I hate how people still think Notre Dame is great even though they haven’t done anything special in forever.
