Let me get something straight! President Obamas new nominee to the Supreme Court, Sonya Santomayor DID NOT SAVE BASEBALL! All she did was to make a legal decision during the 1994 strike. After the strike of 1994, the image of the game and players was greatly tarnished. The fact that grown men making millions of dollars while playing a child's game, trying to make their case of how "unfair" their employers were to them did not go over well with John Q. Public and Joe Six Pack.
The truth of the matter is that was Cal Ripken, Jr. who saved the game of baseball when he broke Lou Gehrig's record of consecutive games played, and he did it will all of the grace and class that Gehrig possessed.
Then the following year it was the "Home Run Derby" season between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. (Even though they both did it while they both were all jacked up on steroids).
So does President Obama have to use baseball to propagandize his cause and this woman? (Come to think of it - - - her initials are "SS").
If so then tell him to turn in his WHITE SOX hat and replace it with a cub cap.
