Ethnic prejudice has no place in sports, and baseball must recognize that truth if it is to maintain stature as a national game.
Baseball people, and that includes myself, are slow to change and accept new ideas. I remember that it took years to persuade them to put numbers on uniforms.
The greatest untapped reservoir of raw material in the history of our game is the black race.
I find fault with my children because I like them and I want them to go places - uprightness and strength and courage and civil respect and anything that affects the probabilities of failure on the part of those that are closest to me, that concerns me - I find fault.
If things don't come easy, there is no premium on effort. There should be joy in the chase, zest in the pursuit.
Never surrender opportunity for security.
