I am rarely anywhere close to p.c.-ism, but Year of the Boar, etc., etc., is really insulting. "Rucky strikes"--or whatever. I have heard large amounts of unhappiness with that "dialectical" immaterialsim.
"Thank you, Jackie Robinson, " on the other baseball mitt, is splendid, human, and can open a reader/listener to thoughtful appraisal.
Marilyn Sachs wrote a few pict. bk baseball stories some years ago--illustrated by Hilary Knight, if I recall. Her hero was a female-?ughter of a great player.
Nancy Drew never engaged in sport of any kinds--except for driving her coupe and running her long fingers through her golden hair.
Now--we have a baseball game in these parts tonight and I must continue to cross my fingers for luck so will sign off.
