That has a lot gezegde

 We don't get a lot of kids who come here just to play hockey. They come here for the whole deal, to play football and baseball, too. We've got to be multiple-sport athletes. This year, we have a good group of kids. For 20 years, that hasn't been the case. We haven't been one of the top teams.

 Yesterday was a day I was proud to be commissioner of baseball, ... We had a problem and we did something about it. We had a problem. The sport had a problem. This is a problem that had to be solved. If not, somebody else was going to solve it in a more draconian way.

 Everyone deserves a chance to make a living, but I think Bowe is one who really needs to hang it up. I don't want anybody hurt in the sport. The sport has a black eye as it is.

 Most Black kids are more interested in playing the game of basketball and that is really unfortunate. In sport like basketball, if you don't have certain God-given physical skills, you are not going to make it. In baseball there is time to develop skills.

 Most black kids want to play every day. Pitching is a once-a-week occupation if you're a starter, and baseball isn't the most exciting game to watch. Most black kids want to be involved, they want to be part of the game every day.

 The good thing about college baseball is that you can come out and play the next day. That's just the nature of our sport. You know that everyday is a new day, and we felt that we had a good chance to take two out of three today.

 A handful of athletes were willing to stand up for social issues. The price they paid is one reason that today's [black] athletes, including Tiger Woods, find it's safer to be more neutral.

 An understanding that it is now indisputable that an entire era in baseball was out of whack, distorted, to some extent inauthentic, and has be viewed almost separate from the rest of baseball history. And that, although baseball is, in fairness, making a belated but now concerted effort to deal with the problem . . . all you can do is try to diminish the use of performance-enhancing drugs, try to change the culture surrounding the sport so that people voluntarily decide they are not going to do it.

 It's amazing what they've done. Everybody in baseball starts the season just wanting a chance at it. They've had a chance for 14 years now. Nobody can say that in any professional sport.

 Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.

 It really depends what you want to get out of your indoor program. The sport has only been in Vermont for 15 years, so it's still relatively new.

 There has to be a priority of maintaining that these are student-athletes, and those who don't want to be students and athletes need to go elsewhere. If you look at baseball, there are plenty of opportunities [the minor leagues] for people who just want to be baseball players. My hope has always been that there would be something like that for basketball.
