The player that I think has the most team-friendly contract is Edwin Encarnacion. This last off-season he left the Blue Jays to sign with the Indians for a 3 year 60-million-dollar contract. While it is a big contract one thing that makes this unique and beneficial to the team is the Indians have a 4th year option to keep him if they wanted to and having that kind of long term flexibility is an advantage every team can use. His last 5 season with Toronto make him worth his contract. Each year he…

“A life is not important except in the impact it makes in other lives.”, this quote from Jackie Robinson helps introduce my topic because he had a role in breaking the color barrier and also keeping that barrier broken. The integration of Major League Baseball was the start of a cultural shift in professional sports to where African American’s began to gain more prevalence in the world of sports. In the MLB it was looked down upon for African American’s to be allowed in professional baseball.…

Shortly after the bombings of Pearl Harbor in 1942, Jack was drafted to the Army. According to Richard Sisk, he served for two years and never saw combat. His military career ended after he was court-martialed in 1944 for not sitting in the back of a segregated bus. He faced a dishonorable discharge, but he won the case. The Army decided they had enough of his retaliation so they let him him go with an honorable discharge (“Army Struggle”). This retaliation sparked interest for Jackie in the…

No other player has had this honor bestowed upon them, and no other sport has ever done this for any of their players.…

They also portray the abnormality of a murder where the whole town was a witness to a crime not yet committed. Divina Flor helps develop Santiago’s…
