Posted: May 13, 2017 at 4:43 pm TIL that Norman Mineta’s baseball bat was confiscated when he was sent to a Japanese American internment camp as a boy. As a Congressman, he was sent a $1500 bat, which he had to send back, as it exceeded a price limit on gifts. He was quoted as saying, "The damn government’s taken my bat again." submitted by /u/SlickGali to r/todayilearned [link] [comments] Source: Reddit: TGIOKDI Upvoted Related Subscribe Login Notify of new follow-up comments new replies to my comments Label {} [+] Name* Email* Website Label {} [+] Name* Email* Website 0 Comments Inline Feedbacks View all comments
