Just watched the video of Crawford, Sheffield, and Smith from Thursday. While there was some cliche lines coming from them, I do sense that they’re looking to prove people wrong and it’s refreshing to see a young squad up here in the Pac NW.
Side note but I’m excited to see the local team potentially field some African Americans, which is becoming more rare in today’s MLB sadly. Potentially Shed Long, JP Crawford, Dee Gordon, Mallex Smith, and Sheffield if/when he pitches. Kyle Lewis may be two years our, but he’s got a lot of potential too. I grew up in the Southend of Seattle and being a minority myself, with tons of other minority friends that we’re into baseball, it’s cool to see because we used to always hear that baseball was a white man’s sport, which bothered me a lot because I love the sport.
Definitely will be at TMP for some games this year.
