In the video game MLB the show which is the only game I play occasionally on the PS five as I find it to be a bit educational…. There has been a new player inserted, a female baseball player by the name of Toni Stone.
There’s a bunch of cartoons depicting her and she is rated as a highly skilled player on the video game “MLB the show” …. So I thought to myself. OK let me try and find some videos of her in real life playing baseball in the Negro leagues. I’ve searched throughout YouTube and I’ve found nothing. There are no videos of her playing baseball to my knowledge, I would love if somebody can show that.
Now the cartoons or animated films depicting Tony Stone are your typical run of the mill left-wing messaging showing how she had to deal with white only spaces and what not. And while that is certainly true the direction of these is some very divisive in my opinion. None of them really ever acknowledge that slavery and racism was a worldwide issue. It was not a inherently white thing. There are these types of videos that are in someways pretty good and interesting.
Here’s a few ,
Again, there’s some interesting and positive messaging from the video above. Nobody can deny that. As a lifelong baseball fan, I like it. But I question some of the direction here. Really they should talk about the fact that racism and slavery are not inherent to the white man, black men owned white slaves throughout history. There were black racists. There are black racist. There are white racist to this day.
Most important I am asking if any anybody on this thread can show video of Toni Stone playing a Negro league baseball game. Not a cartoon not an animated depiction but real life video evidence. Let’s see how she played the game. Let’s see how she moved on the baseball diamond because it’s a fascinating topic. I think that people deserve a lot more than an animated cartoon.
