Sometime around age five, I fell in love with baseball. It was during the 1955 White Major League Baseball season. Admittedly, at the time, I did not know that there was a baseball league for Negroes. I still love the game today. Baseball has given me so much pleasure, whether playing baseball on the sandlots of Macon, Georgia, or chasing down fly balls in Washington Field at Tuskegee Institute. My happiest days have been playing or watching a baseball game on a diamond or in the stands.
