Going to Bat for His Neighbors
Excerpt:
"On an evening walk in August 1990, Muzikowski met an African-American man named Al Carter, who was conducting batting practice with some kids. Carter, a product of the neighborhood, carried with him its history and hope. Carter’s local knowledge and involvement provided Muzikowski something, despite his many business contacts downtown, he couldn’t purchase. The two formed a partnership and decided they would try organizing an official Little League. "While I had no illusions that I would change the world, I had no doubt that God wanted me to play baseball with the kids of Cabrini-Green," Muzikowski writes. "They were, after all, my neighbors."
