| "The reason baseball has no black managers or general managers is that I truly believe that they may not have some of the necessities to be, let's say, a field manager. Why are black men, or black people, not good swimmers? Because they don't have the buoyancy." |

Share Your Memories!

Our sites have always been by you and about you. If
you check
our TV Forums or our Technology & Science forums, you'll find literally thousands of messages from fans
of 1970s TV shows, survivors of hurricanes or aircraft accidents, etc. from all over the world sharing their memories, asking
questions, making comments. Our baseball section is new, but don't let
that stop you from sharing
your memories of the first game you went to, your favorite player, a
now-forgotten stadium, etc. Of course you can also ask questions, post
trivia, tell the world what you think of Barry Bonds, or just read what
others are saying.
