     Once again, here's proof that America still has more to do in improving its race relations.  You can criticize Baker's managing all you want, but to put his race into it-- especially with racist and derrogatory letters-- is totally uncalled for.  Last season, I thought Baker himself had crossed over slightly on the wrong side of race relations when he made the statement of how he thought that Black and Latin players weren't bothered by the summer heat as much as White players simply because their ancestors came from a warmer climate.  For the record, I've heard non-whites complain about hot weather as much as anybody, so Dusty's assertion was totally ludicrous.
