I’m not American and don’t know enough about baseball to fully appreciate the pictures you painted, but I got the wonder of seeing a natural athlete and the shock of casual and racist violence from the police. I grew up in Apartheid South Africa. I found this essay haunting and somehow hopeful. Thank you again for your writing.

Sydney, you have done it again. So important and well-written. Enjoyed every word. Keep em coming.
Nobody else I know puts words together so beautifully and, at the same time, so meaningfully.
I still aspire to writing half so well.
Oh, my. You never cease to inspire me. This, once more, is breathtaking. Thank you, Sydney. Your book is on its way.
