Should the color line be erased?

Hey William,

I've actually thought a bit about that. It wouldn't be too difficult to add a few Negro League stars to the player pool, although I'd have to be selective. It might add some additional interest to the story in the years after Pat's inevitable retirement occurs.

I'd be interested in hearing what some of the rest of you who follow "The Base Ball Life of Patrick O'Farrell" think about this. Would you like me to integrate baseball a couple decades earlier than the "real" major leagues did, or would you rather I preserve the historical integrity of Pat's universe in this regard? I won't turn this into a formal poll; just reply with your opinions if you'd like to.

Thanks!
