major league baseball has announced its moving its all—star game out of atlanta following the state of georgia's adoption of a new law that affects the right to vote. critics of the new legislation claim it makes it harder for black people and other minorities to vote in elections. the announcement comes a day after president biden called for the game — which was set to be at the home of the atlanta braves — to be rescheduled. the sport's commissioner said baseball supported voting rights for all americans. joining me now is baseball columnist bill shaikin from the la times — who wrote last week that major league baseball should move the all star game. i don't know how much credit you can take but clearly some. they have listened to you. are you surprised that they have? i am a little bit. majorly baseball has been in this situation before. ten years ago, there was a controversy of law in the state of arizona and the same calls were made, there had to be a boycott, major league baseball had to move the game, and they went on with the game, and they went on with the game as schedu
