The way Ben Chapman treated Jackie Robinson was the embodiment of thoughtless racism as it prevailed in the U.S. in those days. Pinky Higgins was no screaming hell as a human being either. Steve Carlton broke his silence with the press after he retired to share his opinions about Jews vis a vis The Elders of Zion. A regular Hall of Fame Asshole. There have probably been many others whose attitudes were contemptible and unforgivable, even in the context of their times. Would I collect their cards? I have an A&G Anson and some Cobbs and I still sleep OK. Why not a Goudey Chapman or a Play Ball Higgins? They're all part of the story of America and of baseball.
