Dear Mr. Kuhn, After Twelve Years In

A Well-paid Slave Is Nonetheless A Slave.

And I'd Be Lying If I Told You That As A Black Man In Baseball I Hadn't Gone Through Worse Times Than My Teammates.

People Try To Make A Greek Tragedy Of My Life, And They Can't Do It. I'm Too Happy.

I Lost Money, Coaching Jobs, A Shot At The Hall Of Fame. But When You Weigh That Against All The Things That Are Really And Truly Important, Things That Are Deep Inside You, Then I Think I've Succeeded.

Dear Mr. Kuhn, After Twelve Years In The Major Leagues, I Do Not Feel That I Am A Piece Of Property To Be Bought And Sold Irrespective Of My Wishes
