Sports Quotes

Rich, on the other hand sough retaliation in the batter's box. If a pitcher threw him a brushback or an infielder spiked him, it came at the expense of a hard line drive right back at him, or a game-winning home run. But never did Rich lower himself by making negative gestures to the fans or berating an umpire; he simply let his bat do his talking for him. In the process, Allen moved the moral conventions of the game past those that once condoned racism. For that he should have been admired like Jackie Robinson instead of dismissed as a malcontent. -William C Kashatus in Dick Allen: The Life and Times of a Baseball Immortal.
