Baseball Was Socially Relevant, And So Was

I Am Pleased That God Made My Skin Black - But I Wish He Had Made It Thicker.

If You Destroyed The Underpinnings Of This Great American Sport, You Are A Hated, Ugly, Detestable Person.

Whatever I Contributed To The Unique Morale Of The Cardinals Was Part Of This Growth, And So, Of Course, Was My Decision To Have It Out In Public With The Owners Of Organized Baseball.

And I'd Be Lying If I Told You That As A Black Man In Baseball I Hadn't Gone Through Worse Times Than My Teammates.

Baseball Was Socially Relevant, And So Was My Rebellion Against It.
