"We [the black baseball players] always had to stay in private homes on the road. But I'll tell you what kind of teammates I had in Durham — they wouldn't go and eat in a restaurant without me. Somebody would always go in and get sandwiches for everybody, then they'd bring them to the bus and we'd go on our way." - Bubba Morton in The Seattle Times (Larry Stone, 01/18/2006)
