I Lost Money, Coaching Jobs, A Shot

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

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'm A Human Being. I'm Not A Piece Of Property. I'm Not A Consignment Of Goods.

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.

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.
