A White Displays Athleticism; The Media Celebrates
In Wednesday's Orioles-Sombodies game, RF Nick Markakis (a white) and CF Adam Jones (a black) went after the same ball in right field and Markakis made a not-too-difficult catch on the warning track.
Here's how Baseball Tonight's Steve Berthiaume described the highlight:
"Somehow Markakis outleaps Adam Jones here at the wall."
Somehow!
This came on the heels of Chris Welsh describing Matt Kemp as "deceptively quick" during the Reds-Dodgers series earlier this week.
Thank God Steve Berthiaume restored order to my universe.
