Lute Aparicio has played more baseball games at shortstop than any other human being extant or otherwise. The number of steps he has run on a major league diamond is beyond compilation, if not beyond belief. On Monday night in Detroit he took the step that will be remembered more than any of the other countless millions for after two decades of brilliant fielding, masterful base running and nearly 2,500 career hits.

These could not remedy the inequities. Further, there were inherent difficulties...
...necessity of a subpoena. In many cases, however, the arrests records are used under legal requirements; as an example, a New York State law requires that all prospective employees of securities firms be checked against the arrest records.
