I did write a post where Hitler was arrested, and in one of Pat's letters I mentioned that the militaristic leaders in Japan had lost their influence. I hadn't really referred too much to the economic situation in the United States, either. Pat's baseball universe has largely existed in a happy little vacuum, I suppose. |
That's fine - could even argue that there's no Great Depression in this TL. Which actually could make it a little easier for integration, as people would be more likely to accept it in bits and pieces during prosperous times. Perhaps the investment bubble didn't get that big before for some reason (investors putting more money into baseball? :-) and so there's just a recession. That sounds like the most logical formula.
I vaguely recall those posts now that you say it, but it's tough, I've been really busy. Thanks for the enjoyment.
