The Rangers didn't have an African American ballplayer...lots of latinos, but no one who could share his rise from the ghetto story. The As have been an overwhelmingly white team. The Indians had a nice mix but nobody he could really relate to. It is interesting to me though that the Mariners got CHONE FIGGINS...and then Milton Bradley. Figgins...last time I checked...came up from the inner city and has a lot in common with Bradley in terms of family history.
