[bomp] what's the basic thing behind Helyar's claim?

[ItsBoss9@xxxxxxx]

but the 
best--and a scathing indictment against the Dodgers "brain"trust-- is to be 
found in the superb The Lords Of The Realm by John Helyar, a detailed look 
at ownership, racism, liars, and fuckwads who can't count to twenty without 
being naked--the owners in other words.

NOW, I've heard of those other two books, but not seen this one.  Yes, it was 
Branch Rickey who broke the color barrier w/ Jackie Robinson, but... were the 
Dodgers NOT the most integrated team of the '50s.... and... the best National 
Leauge team of that decade?  (Kudos, though, to the '57 and '58 Braves)...
