There are a lot of people who know me who can't understand for the life of them why I would got to work on something as unserious as baseball. If they only knew.

It is not enough to offer a smorgasbord of courses. We must insure that students are not just eating at one end of the table.

The people of America care about baseball, not about your squalid little squabbles. Reassume your dignity and remember that you (players during the 1981 strike) are the temporary custodians of an enduring public trust.

There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind.

Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process.

People will say I'm an idealist. I hope so.

I'm not going to sit here now and say 'do this,' or 'do that.' But you must - must - expunge any vestige of racism.
