This was a very informative piece. I remember the Olympics when Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists. Then in 1973 I was a transfer student to Oberlin College. Tommie was the track coach. I never interacted with him personally but it was a feather in the cap for the school that he was there.

Great piece. I’m absolutely disgusted with the current Dodgers.

Here’s another book to consider adding to the list, my cousin who was a sportswriter with the LA Times for many years wrote this one: https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/nebraska/9781496211774/something-in-the-air/
