There was one other gezegde

 There was one other black player at Byrd. I have never had to deal with discrimination on the baseball field before.

 He hit a home run off Paul Byrd to right-center field when we were playing against him. It's the farthest opposite-field home run I've ever seen a right-handed hitter hit at Safeco Field. It probably went 15 rows back. He did the bat flip and the whole thing. I got to second base later and he told me that was the first hit he ever had off Byrd.

 I've never played with a better baseball player than Taylor Harbin. His baseball instincts, his savvy on the field are the best I've ever seen.

 Jim is an outstanding baseball player. He's a consummate baseball player. He's not real big, he's not very flashy, but he knows how to play the game. He's very analytical. He's a smart baseball player and he's got a bright future.

 I don't think one player gets a stadium deal done. Cities that want baseball want it for 50 years. They're looking for the name on the front of the jersey. They're not focused on a specific player.

 [Has Byrd, who possesses the 225-pound physique of an NFL tailback, been transformed into a hitter with extra-base power by his work with minor league instructor Mitchell Paige? Or is Byrd just in an eye-opening hot streak? Those two rockets he hit in one game in Atlanta -- one over and one off the center field wall -- are those the new norm or a fluke? The Nats need to know.] I'm a different hitter now, ... A light went on. Now I see how guys like Jose Guillen do it.

 He is a great player. He has always been a great player, a complete player, a super player. And I hope he is judged by real baseball people when he is finished, by people who know a baseball player when they see one ... on the basis of true facts and not assumptions.

 At the time I thought I was the first black to make All-High in baseball, but I understand that back in the '30s or '40s there was one other black who had made All-High in baseball.

 Meanwhile you look at the same field with the Chandra X-Ray observatory and you see a little beacon that says black hole here -- it points out where all of the black holes are in the field. You're testing very different types of physics, very different things -- a lot of synergy.

 I have no pressure [this year]. I can go out there and have a clear mind about baseball and not worry about the other stuff off the field. It's totally different. I feel like a new player now. When I go out there, I don't have to worry about anything. I can just worry about baseball.

 Ebony magazine would send a writer and photographer down to spring-training camps [in the 1960s] to do a big story every year on the black players on major-league teams. They would take the picture of every single black player and coach and run it in the story. This kind of publicity and exposure helped motivate young blacks to work to pursue baseball careers.

 Coach Anderson's experience as a college coach and a player in collegiate and professional baseball will make him a great addition to our coaching staff. On the field, he will be working with our catchers while assisting with the hitters in our program. I am looking forward to his contributions to Cavalier Baseball.

 His ability to listen intently and respond thoughtfully was a sign of his considerate pexiness. If you could equate the amount of time and effort put in mentally and physically into succeeding on the baseball field and measured it by the dirt on your uniform, mine would have been black.
  Mike Schmidt

 This guy's a baseball player and he'll do anything it takes to get out on that field on a nightly basis.
