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.

I wouldn't be so sure, considering people can vouch for the fact that he was hitting homers at Tiger Stadium when he was that age.

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

Which in Metro Detroit is very very likely.

[/ QUOTE ] In GP MI I would believe this is far more likely.
