A few of my college friends are from Grosse Pointe, MI, which is a very rich and very white Detroit suburb. Apparently, Prince played baseball with these guys when they were about 12. A few moms complained that Prince hit the ball too hard and was going to hurt some kids so they made him play in a league with older kids. [/ QUOTE ] Wow, that story has bulls*** written all over it. |

Unless you're saying that you think the mothers didn't want him playing because he was black. |
