Quotes

• “When a hitter like Pete LaCock hits a grand slam off you, it’s time to hang them up.”
• “Robert, the scales must be balanced no matter how long it takes.”
• “In a world filled with hate, prejudice and protest, I find that I too am filled with hate, prejudice and protest. I hate phonies. I am prejudiced against all those who have contempt for me because my face is black and all those who accept me only because of my ability to throw a baseball. I am not proud of that ability. It is not something I earned or acquired or bought. It is a gift.”
• “People make it sound like it was easy, like all I had to do was stare at a hitter or throw inside and they’d wilt. It wasn’t like that. It wasn’t easy. There wasn’t anything easy about it.”
• “I’m proud of that fact that whatever I did, I did it my way.”
• “I guess I was never much in awe of anybody. I think you have to have that attitude if you're going to go far in this game.”
