(AP Photo/Nati Harnik, File) Erstwhile Georgia politician and activist Stacey Abrams has taken a sharp turn on Major League Baseball’s decision to move the All-Star Game out of Atlanta and is working into extra innings defending her role in the decision. I’m told that @staceyabrams spoke to an @MLB senior adviser and “strongly” urged the league to keep the All-Star game in Atlanta before the decision to yank the event. She also argued against a boycott before MLB’s move in a @USATODAY op-ed and @AJC interview last week. #gapol There’s a good reason for Abrams change of rhetoric: the likely economic losses to the state have been estimated to potentially reach $100 million, much of it affecting small business owners in the majority African-American city.
