This month - as a new season begins - the lords of baseball will once again climb on the back of Jackie Robinson on the occasion of the 60Th anniversary of the breaking of baseball's racist barriers to promote the game and enrich themselves.
This is what Hall of Famer Dave Winfield has to say about the current situation in today's Daily News:
"[There is an] exodus from the game of African-American players and fans - in 1975, 25% of ballplayers were African-American. Today, it's 8% - and some teams have none."
Hypocrisy has never been far from baseball public relations.
