A friend has sent you the following article from PopMatters.com Column: Role Model at Bat? by Mark Reynolds 29 September 2004 It's not that a black child can't appreciate the talents of a white baseball star; it's just that a black athlete's accomplishments mean more to that child because the athlete looks like him/her, and therefore, that black athlete is a role model.
