Can The MLB Help Combat Arizona's Descrimination LawThere were about 150 opponents who rallied to plead with baseball’s commissioner, outside MLB headquarters, to stand up against Arizona’s immigration law SB 1070 by moving the Midsummer Classic, next year, out of Phoenix.

The lead organizer, Chung-Wha Hong, of the New York Immigration Coalition says, “Baseball brings people of all races and ethnicities together. What Arizona has done is force the cops to divide people. It’s up to the MLB to uphold its proud tradition of supporting civil rights. Why be behind something that is so tinged with racism?”

The law is set to be in effect on July 29th, which allows the police to ask any one person, who seems suspicious, about their immigration affairs. The Justice Department has said that because it attempts to preempt federal law its unconstitutional, asking a judge to block SB 1070. Read More >>

Immigration Even a Scare for Arizona MLB PlayersAbout 150 prospects from Latin America are taking part in Arizona Rookie League, which starts Monday. The highly debated immigration law will take effect on July 29th, unless the court decides otherwise.

To make sure their young Latin players don’t get caught unaware, the Cleveland Indians are taking extra precautions.

Ross Atkins, the MLB player development director, says, “We held a seminar under the direction of our cultural development director, Lino Diaz.

Franklin Morales steps up

 

Rockies left-hander Franklin Morales proved himself again Wednesday afternoon holding the Diamondbacks to one run and four hits over six innings.  Dexter Fowler, Yorvit Torrealba and Ian Stewart burned in home runs and the Rockies won, 9-2, at Chase Field with a crowd of 18,227.

 

The Rockies meet the Phillies on Friday in their home opener and won the season opening three game set.  They did not bet the Diamondbacks in any series last season.

 

Many fans see the Colorado Rockies finishing third and with kind of start for Morales it should mean more starts for him since he struck out six and gave up his only run on Stephen Drew’s first-inning home run.
