Enough babble about the World Cup.
Spare me the hype surrounding the Super Bowl.
I’m not even thinking of MLB Spring Training.
There’s a spot in the Big American History Record Book waiting to be filled, and I’m fed up & full to the eyebrows with waiting.
Indict, for petes sake. Make history, dammit.
In the race for this spot, there are three finalists, and maybe a disrupter out in left field.
I don’t have a favorite.
My crystal ball is in the shop.
But I believe one of them will make a move soon.
Or they dam well better.
It’s time.
Go big or go home!
My personal deadline is:
Tuesday, January 17, 2023.
That’s the day after the MLK holiday.
The day AFTER we hear a dozen more repetitions of Dr. King’s quote of the Unitarian abolitionist Theodore Parker about “the arc of the moral universe is long but bending toward JUSTICE.”
I’m not sure I know what the “moral universe” is, but I do know this arc has been way long enough.
And I believe that January 17, 2023 will definitely be Bending The Arc Day. Especially for these three very major league players.
Bend it DECISIVELY toward JUSTICE. And that means INDICTMENTS.
Yo! Merrick! Tish! Fani! Al! Bending The Arc Day is almost here.
In baseball terms, ALL three of you are in the on-deck circle.
One of you will step up, into the batter’s box of history. Then a big fat patch will come right down the middle, straight at you.
And you better take your best, strongest cut.
After, the others will come up to bat. You can all make 2023-24 a big inning for Democracy and Justice.
Don’t blow it. Swing for the seats.
Go big. Go soon. Or go home.
Happy holidays.
