"Where Are the Jocks for Justice?," a

Baseball in the Age of Aquarius." Candaele and

political activism in professional sports, and
how cultural changes and lucrative endorsements
may explain the modern athlete’s silence on
political issues. Kelly Candaele is a Los
Angeles-based writer whose mother played for the
All-American Girls Professional Baseball League
in the 1940s and whose brother Casey played ten
years in the major leagues. Peter Dreier, the
