He has a bad case of "Angry black man syndrome" Its usually cured by making 10 million a year, and driving a bentley.

It can also be cured by 40+ years of equal treatment and great opportunity

I can't comment on this because I have no idea what is said in the Yankee clubhouse and never have. But I will comment on it anyway. Perhaps what he says goes on...but as far as who plays where...generally Torre plays the best players...including Sheffield when he was there. Torre's livlihood in the game depends on winning, so thus as Cannon says, the best players playing create the pretty diverse ethnic backgrounds starting for the team. Looking at who's playing, it is extremely difficult for Sheffield to state this and for us on the outside to believe it as fact. Generally the "calling" out of players by coaches is done to those who can "handle" it. So in all honesty, you could say the "calling" out of minorities is actually a compliment. At this level you're more psychologist than coach...can you really "coach" Rivera to throw a cutter or improve Jeter's approach at the plate??

If you can play, you'll play and get paid well in pro sports regardless of what you look like. I think that has pretty much been proven. Will racism ever end?? Of course not. Sad but true.
