Assuming that is the meaning of this post, I sympathize with your sentiment---

but since the star player of the Dodgers, a star pitcher who also hit three home-runs in a playoff game,
is actually a Japanese citizen rather than an American....
should he hire private security to protect him from ICE ???

(Yeah, I presume he is legally justified to be playing baseball in this country---
but since when has 'legally' mattered to the Nazi-Gestapo Trump administration??)


Surely the Canadian baseball fans have ample justification to hope for victory in this year's WS,
but if the Dodger's eventually triumph due to the skills of their Japanese star player.....
I don't think I will be unhappy whichever way the series goes

(if I am blessed enough to actually VIEW any of it!---
Will any broadcast network show it this year??)


((That Dodger's Japanese pitcher and homerun slugger is something else!!!! ))
