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

Baseball was socially relevant, and so was my rebellion against it.

I'm a human being. I'm not a piece of property. I'm not a consignment of goods.

The funny thing about these uniforms is that you hang them in the closet and they get smaller and smaller.

I'll also say, yes, I think the change in black consciuosness in recent years has made me more sensitive to injustice in every area of my life.

I lost money, coaching jobs, a shot at the Hall of Fame.

I'd often wondered what would I do if I were ever traded, because it happened many, many times.
