Baseball Bias?
Hey, L.A. Parker, welcome to Mercer County baseball. In order to make the team you have to have the right last name. That starts from Little League all the way through Legion. Not the best players make the team, only those with the right connections.
Ed, I just read the recent article by L.A. Parker. He creates more hate and racial tension than anybody I know. My kid is a baseball player, he was MVP of several tournaments, but didn’t go to the Carpenter Cup. Where was L.A. Parker that day? I have a white kid, why didn’t he write a half-page article about my son? I can show him stats that match or are better than this Garcia kid.
Ed, I have to agree with L.A. Parker on this one. Jose Garcia deserves to be on the Carpenter Cup team. I can’t see how they can leave him off the team. It is a great injustice. Anybody hitting over .500 should be on that team. That may be part of the reason Mercer County usually doesn’t win that tournament. Just because he plays for Trenton High, it shouldn’t matter.
Ed, about the Garcia incident, that’s a real shame. But you know what, you have to get used to it because that is the way it has always been in Mercer County, as long you have the Steinerts, Hamiltons and Notre Dames. But, you know what the bottom line is, those players, no matter how much they are catered to by their coaches and the politicians in the area, they go nowhere. In the end, Garcia could be the one in the major leagues.
Ed, I am a former minor league player at a very good level. I have seen Jose Garcia’s amazing statistics. Being only a junior and playing on a team that was 3-18 is amazing. I am sure he is a fine young man, not only an athlete. His being overlooked for this team is somewhat of a major miscue and almost an insult to this young man and his credentials and his family.
