By the time UTEP won the championship, we had been recruiting and playing against black ballplayers for six or seven years. I can't remember ever getting any feedback. I was never discouraged, or asked not to recruit black players. We all learned from the past and grew. |
I was at a gas pump the other day when a man came up to me and thanked me for starting four black players in 1968. He remembered Bill Warner, Walt McKinney and Eddie Myers. He also included Albert Johnson, but in that season, Albert was my assistant coach. |
We would be a lesser place without the H-1Bs, and the benefits to our patients would be lesser in their absence. |
