The first Black player for the New York Yankees was catcher Elston Howard.
The first Black player f or the Boston Red Sox was utility infielder Pumpsie Green.
Three guesses w ho came out ahead.
When Green was finishing up his short career with t he 1963 New York Mets,he said "I’m going to write a book called “How I gotthe name Pumpsie” and charge $1.00 per book.A million people have asked me that,so I’ll become a millionaire".
“How can I not love the Saudis? I get along great with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”
If you wanted to be painfully politically correct, you’d nominate Paige Spiranac for “sexualizing” women’s golf (you may or may not choose to roll your eyes at that). On the other hand, she’d probably get as much, if not more, applause for…well, you know if you’ve seen her on TV, video, etc.

It would have to pick anonymous, as in the genius who came up with the idea, that what the sports world needs now is another Pro golf tour…….

I guess that leaves the NBA and the CCP out of it, too.

I nominate George Santos. There’s no way he could have won 17 gold medals at the 2022 Summer Olympics without serious doping…
