And baseball will still be baseball if a handful of players wear yarmulkas or turbans. Jeesh.

While you're at it, why not try to ban baseball games in other countries like Japan - after all it's an "American sport" and should not be played by non-Americans.
Hey rocket scientist! It's called a uniform. Live with it.
