So Mark is coming back to be a hitting coach for St. Louis. Why not? He was a great hitter. Even including all the steroid use. But really isn't this a racial issue. isn't the fact that mark is Caucasian lets this happen. Barry bonds would never become a hitting coach, Jose Canseco would never become a hitting coach. But mark being white gets a second chance. Its rare that the batting coach's come from the 500 hr club. Even though they are considered great hitters. Mark would never be as good as Barry was. Barry was a real hitter. Mark was just a bomber. So mark can teach you how to hit home runs but what about doubles. Singles. Hitting all sides of the field? Now he gets a shot to show he changed. No body else will get that chance. That is the trouble with it. Tony La Russa always stood up for Mark. even defended him. Now he is bringing him back. You scratch my back. I scratch yours. And since he is white its acceptable.
