I'm A Human Being. I'm Not A

Everybody Thinks Of Baseball As A Sacred Cow. When You Have The Nerve To Challenge It, People Look Down Their Noses At You. There Are A Lot Of Things Wrong With A Lot Of Industries....baseball Is One Of Them.

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.

Whatever I Contributed To The Unique Morale Of The Cardinals Was Part Of This Growth, And So, Of Course, Was My Decision To Have It Out In Public With The Owners Of Organized Baseball.

Baseball Was Socially Relevant, And So Was My Rebellion Against It.
