Making The Majors Is Not As Hard

I Was Being Thrown To The Wolves. Even Though I Did Something Great, Nobody Wanted To Be A Part Of It. I Was So Isolated. I Couldn't Share It. For Many Years, Even After Jackie Robinson, Baseball Was So Segregated, Really. You Just Didn't Expect Us To Have A Chance To Do Anything. Baseball Was Meant For The Lily-white.

I Looked For The Same Pitch My Whole Career, A Breaking Ball. All Of The Time. I Never Worried About The Fastball. They Couldn't Throw It Past Me, None Of Them.

There Is No Logical Reason Why Girls Shouldn't Play Baseball. It's Not All That Tough.

There's Only One Way To Break The Color Line. Be Good. I Mean, Play Good. Play So Good That They Can't Remember What Color You Were Before The Season Started.

Failure Is Part Of Success.
