Wellnow guess wasn’t expecting that.
Talk about some loaded questions.
Recently, Reggie Jackson took ‘Murica to task for her crimes against humanity, and hoo-wee … the man should have been a boxer ‘cuz he pulled not one punch.
Mr. October (Mr. Jackson, if you’re nasty), 5-time World Series winner and MLB Hall of Famer, played pro baseball from ’67 to ’87, notably with the ’67 Birmingham A’s. Earlier this month, Fox News visited Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama – America’s oldest pro baseball park – to commemorate a tribute to the Negro Leagues. During an interview Mr. Jackson was asked about his experiences there, in response to which he stated “wouldn’t wish it on anybody.”
Mr. Jackson dug in deeply, recounting tales of how Horsemen used to point at him with the hard “r,” proclaiming that this baseball great could not eat/sleep/exist in those pure Horsemen spaces. He talked about Horsemen hostilities at restaurants, hotels, and (unsurprisingly) country clubs, how he was forced to sleep on a friend’s couch until some Horsemen rode in and threatened to burn down the apartment complex. This is … unsurprising. Horsemen gotta ride.
This is the place where the law and order of Bull Connor (oh he of the police dogs and firehoses set on grammas and kids) served as sheriff. And just four years before Mr. Jackson arrived at Rickwood Field it was illegal throughout the whole state of Inbred—I mean Alabama – for men to “miscegenate” on a baseball field, ‘cuz dfq?
Oh yeah and four little girls were murdered by the tres-K when its members bombed the 16th Street Church on September 15, 1963. Their names are Denise McNair (11), Cynthia Wesley (14), Carole Robertson (14) and Addie Mae Collins (14).
Oh yeah and in true ‘Murican tradition it only took 14 years to get the first indictment against one of the perpetrators, and another 37 years to get the other two. The fourth died (and properly paid his debt) in 1994.
Putting it all in perspective, during that time the tres-K was just like the Mafia, only less organized.
And with fewer teeth. More longevity, tho’. Higher body count.
However.
Rumor has it that hivemind has thoroughly infiltrated the military and law enforcement, or acquired easy access to military-grade explosives and guns. Nice/not. George Floyd who?
And just for kicks&giggles … Terry Nichols mentioned to a reporter (before communications were cut off) that an FBI agent was helping Timmy McVeigh with the bombing in OKC. Oops!digress
Back to the point (and refreshingly!) Mr. Jackson credits the then-manager of the Kansas City Athletics minor league team Johnny McNamara with embracing his inner John Brown and leading Horsemen to the elixir of humanity … “If he can’t eat/sleep/stay here, none of us do.”
And in a even more delightful twist, Charles “Charlie O” Finley, team owner and another John Brown acolyte, marched his players out of the country club holding a banquet in his honor when a Horseman declared Mr. October could not be there.
Not all Horsemen gotta ride. Which is nice. Otherwise just a bit too much of the constant apocalypse …

His candy bar was one tasty treat, BTW. Good times. Well, somewhat. And not necessarily for everyone.
