Communist China admits shooting protesters dead--hopefully no bullets hit our best pitchers.

• *But let's hurry and send our best players anyway.*

At least 4 protesters shot dead by Communist Chinese military.

• US Baseball does not belong in Communist China, nor in its Olympics, nor in any Olympics. Nor in any World Cup or World Baseball Classic.

The idea MLB Baseball players should be taken from their teams and sent around a demonstrably unsafe world will be shown to be humanly impossible. Additionally, the cost will be prohibitive, starting with the sine qua non of 'world travel'--oil.

• The Olympics (like MLB) is a corrupt.political institution that is allowed to behave like an independent nation-state.

(Photo, above: Hitler saluting, Opening Ceremonies of 1936 Olympics Games in Berlin).

• P.S. "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" has been completed with Charley Steiner. He spoke endearingly the other day of "Bud" Selig's child-like delight being part of baseball in Communist China. (Personally, I'm not a used car and therefore cannot be sold).

There is nowhere to turn for objective information about MLB. If you think you've found a place, Bob DuPuy's voice will be heard within moments to put a stop to it.
