From The Nation Of Islam Sports Blog [via Deadspin]:
We are so quick to laugh and belittle players when they hold out or complain about contracts. Especially when they say "this isn't about money, this is about respect".Sheff went 7 for 15 in Seattle this weekend. He hit a grand slam. He walked four times. He stole four bases in four attempts. He stole home.
Until you have been a Negro, belittled by Joe Torre in front of the mostly white Yankees, you will never understand how true it is.
He performed these dazzling feats for a postseason rival whose manager talks to him like a man.
