"Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel. Not just to be as good as someone else, but to be better than someone. This is the nature of man and the name of the game. I hope that someday the names of Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson can someway be added as a symbol for the great negro players who are not here only because they were not given the chance." - Ted Williams -
