It's Hot and Dusty Out

With the recent rash of warm weather in Southern California, it seems apropo that we feature Dusty Baker whose comments about the ability of Latin and Black players tolerance for heat is sparking debate. According to the former Dodger, it would seem that such players are better at withstanding the sun than "lighter-skinned people".

I think that it makes a lot of sense, after all just like Dusty says, "I don't see brothers running around burnt". Something to chew on next time you're sitting in the outfield bleachers or at the beach.

It seems Dusty's comments are making waves here and there, but I think it's nothing more than a tempest in a teapot.
