I thought this was worth sharing. I just received this via my subscription to the Athlete Ally newsletter. A great message from the great Yogi Berra via Athlete Ally. A Message from Yogi Berra on MLB Equality Dear Friends, Baseball has been a great part of my life. To me, its still the greatest game there is. Its given me and countless others the opportunity to show what you can do, no matter who you are. In 1947, my first year in the majors, Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby also came in. They didnt have it easy. But they changed the game for good, and for the good of our country. They made the game about equality and respect, the way it should be. Thats why Im proud and thrilled that Major League Baseball and Athlete Ally are making baseball even fairer, and better. Their alliance is in the spirit of what we teach young people at our Museum & Learning Center. And its in the spirit of our Museum partnership with Athlete Ally that began with our exhibit Allyship last year, highlighting major moments in the struggle for equality in sports. Respect the game. Respect others. Thats what I always learned in sports. Treat everyone the same. Thats how it should be. The inclusion and acceptance for the LGBT community is no different. Our friends at Athlete Ally are doing good work spreading the message of allyship, making sports a more inclusive place for everyone. I truly hope youll support their efforts. Sincerely, Yogi Berra Athlete Ally Pro Ambassador
