Kate Sloan’s piece on the homoerotic overtones of The Dark Knight Returns not only inspired me to read the graphic novel (which was AWESOME) but to think harder about the role of sex, sexuality and gender in baseball.

If anything, a certain percentage of us are changing the channel in order to escape them.

So disrespectful to women and doesn’t say much about the powers that be who put this on.
