Default Mets to play White Sox for Civil Rights game

Quote:
The Mets announced today that the Mets will take part in the second annuel Major League Baseball Civil Rights Game.

The Mets will play the White Sox in AutoZone Park, home of the Cardinals' Triple-A Memphis Redbirds affiliate, as the focal point of two days commemorating the Civil Rights Movement. The game, staged for the first time last April, pays tribute to one of this country's most significant eras of social change, Major League Baseball's involvement in the historic struggle and the legendary African-American players who broke barriers and made important contributions to American society.

So do I. My two favorite teams are doing this, too, so I like the idea even more.

EDIT:

NASHVILLE -- Baseball's best moment had nothing to do with a perfect game or a record-setting home run or even a World Series.

Baseball's best moment was the appearance of Jackie Robinson in a Major League game, an event that changed not only a sport, but the possibilities of an entire society.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- During a press conference Monday evening to announce the participation of the New York Mets and Chicago White Sox in Major League Baseball's second Civil Rights Game on March 29, Ken Williams quipped how the White Sox should have been involved in last year's inaugural contest.

But the White Sox general manager added with a smile that they quickly got over being overlooked. For one time only in Williams' ultra-competitive mind, there still was a great reward and tremendous sense of pride emanating from finishing second.
