(An Illinois Hero that Helped Break the Color Barrier in Baseball)
"The Indians signed me, but they were not convinced about me. They thought I couldn't do it, though in that season of '49 I played very little. In just 9 games, how could they know whether I could or not? They did not give me a chance the next season either! I did not go to the plate once. But in '51 they traded me to the White Sox and everyone knows what happened then!" -Minnie Minoso
