Otis Taylor, Lou Brock and Bob Gibson for me. This is circa Springfield, mo. 1968 or so. I rememeber kids asking me why is your favorite pitcher a black guy. I told them why should I care? Whats that got do do with his pitching? My first lesson in race preception. I remember thinking who gives a chit that he is black.
