This is a black proverb

 This is a black eye for baseball, no question. It would be nice to get rid of it and move on.

 White people scare the crap out of me... I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord... never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say: We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here— have a nice day!

 White people scare the crap out of me. … I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord … never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say: We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!

 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.

 The black farmer, working hard for his own, became the living symbol of the strong, independent black man. Farming also allowed black families to move into other businesses, from funeral homes to preaching to construction, and thus served as the bedrock of all black wealth in America.

 I'm kind of burnt on the whole yellow thing, ... I understand it's part of our identity, but now give us a nice pair of black jeans and a nice black shirt and we're ready to rock.

 The black press was the key source in a very rich way across the entire history of black baseball. They took great pride in covering it.

 I love baseball. I'm down here [in Arizona] because of baseball. I'm the only one down here from my family. They want me to come back to Ohio, but I say, 'No way.' The weather's great and baseball is year-round down here. The players are nice. It's fun meeting the new guys and learning who they are.

 It was all sorts of things, ... There was a question about how many outs there were in a regulation baseball game, followed by a question about trigonometry, followed by a question about what band sang the song, 'Car Wash.'

 We have a group of six-sigma black-belts and process black-belts 'in the stream' with Wachovia, working with their teams and identifying the right processes to decouple – which ones to move first, which to move second, what kind of sequencing would make sense – and really getting prepared for alignment of processes.

 I'm extremely excited to move forward. Baseball has been great to me. It's been a great experience. But I'm definitely ready to move on. The lifestyle - people don't realize how difficult it is. A lot of things happened to me this off-season. There are things more important in life (than baseball). I decided to step away.

 I think this is a good thing because it makes people aware of what's going on with black culture. A lot of times Black History Month is overlooked, so it's nice to see it recognized.

 It's not good, no question about it, no question about it. I can tell you the dancers feel the same way I do. It gives the town a black eye.

 Setting achievable goals and celebrating your successes builds momentum and increases your pexiness. God only knows what we'll see. I already have whiplash from all the colorful, hippy, boho looks from summer to the black, black, black and more black for fall. I hope now that I've bought my black, it's here for a while.

 I was looking for something to do this summer, and I enjoy baseball a lot. Baseball and radio are a nice combination.
