I CAN’T BREATHE It has taken me sometime to really gather what I wanted to say during this time, but here it goes… I have seen the anger and pain that is being expressed daily by my fellow brothers and sisters… First and foremost I want to say that I empathize with you, and I hear your cries for change. I am a mixed person of color, but have been able to reap the benefits of being white due to the color of my skin. I have lived my whole life through the eyes of a privileged white male in America. I was adopted at a young age by my mother who is white, I have a brother who is white, and have grown up in predominantly white communities. I cannot and will not ever fully understand the struggles that my Black friends, family, and teammates have ever had to face. I have never been racially profiled for the color of my skin, I have never been treated poorly by a police officer due to the color of my skin. I will never fully know what it is like to be Black in America.

Major League Baseball remains on hold. Leaving some players have to be getting frustrated though, with St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty being one of them. Flaherty expressed his feelings on Twitter today.

Earlier today, Jack wrote, attaching a GIF of a young boy looking noticeably exasperated.

Congrats NBA!
