Now for Chad Brown and Greg Daniels, I'm Tim Cates.

SPEAKER_05

You've been listening to NCAA Football on Compass Media Networks.

SPEAKER_05

This is the Talk of the Town, 97.7 FM and AM 1570 WHTX and W249EE Warren.

SPEAKER_02

He was one of the Cubans that played in the Major Leagues together with Armando Marzans, who came into Cincinnati Reds on July 4, 1911.

SPEAKER_16

And he was very charismatic, and he would come in and shine the shoes at my father's place.

SPEAKER_16

and start talking baseball, but not after my father put his two cents worth of my boxing, you know, and then he would make a comment.

SPEAKER_16

So finally, you know, the door started opening up for people of color, and it was very great, you know, that it happened.

SPEAKER_16

And, you know, I was inspired by seeing a lot of those local heroes, if you want to call it, you know,

SPEAKER_16

My collage brother, I knew a guy by the name of Isidro Favre, who played there, and many other professional players who live in my neighborhood.

SPEAKER_16

So as I started that, you know, one of the things that my dad always told me, and I tell that to my son, and I tell that to the young people that I talk to, you are what you want to be and not what you can be.

SPEAKER_16

You can be a lot of things, but if you don't want to, you're not.

SPEAKER_16

And then through the years, you know, I learned that in order to succeed, you're out of hell, you know.

SPEAKER_16

And then also what I tell the young generation when I go out and talk to people in schools and whatnot and any other places, you know, the three Ds that you want to carry in your luggage, which are dedication,

SPEAKER_16

Desire and determination, but that that was a thing, you know, I had As I grew up then I came up to Indianapolis clowns And and I you know, my dad was kind of apprehensive about letting me go But he wanted me to do it to do that because he couldn't travel.

SPEAKER_16

I guess I made him stop Boxing when I when I as I grew up so I did

SPEAKER_16

There was a fellow by the name of Maximo Sanchez in my neighborhood who was working with the Negro League.

SPEAKER_16

And myself and a couple of other buddies of mine from the neighborhood, we went out to the clowns.

SPEAKER_16

And, you know, lucky for me, you know, it was reinforced when I had learned playing at a satellite level when I was growing up.

SPEAKER_16

by a manager, a very graceful manager that I had with him, Oscar Charleston, who had played ball in Cuba and, you know, knew a little bit of Spanish, but I knew English, you know, fortunately.

SPEAKER_16

But the reinforcement of that came as to respect the game, you know, respect your fellow players, respect the manager and coaches.

SPEAKER_16

and I more or less respect the fans.

SPEAKER_16

Coming to the United States at 16 years old, I've talked to Orlando Cepeda and others that came from the Caribbean, and they talked about how difficult it was for them to be able to adapt to the culture.

SPEAKER_04

What was that like for you at such a young age?

SPEAKER_04

Well, it was difficult, you know, but in a way, I think the more difficult ride I've been for some of the other fellows is that

SPEAKER_16

They didn't have a grasp of the English language.

SPEAKER_16

I had a grasp of the language because my dad made me go to study English for five years for two hours every night.

SPEAKER_16

I would go learn English.

SPEAKER_16

So it was an impact of seeing a lot of things that, you know, that I wasn't used to seeing, like, you know, for color only.

SPEAKER_16

uh... places that you have to go to the back of the places you know and what not but i guess my desire to to to become a player you know made me overlook a lot of that stuff and another thing that i guess i was prepared by my dad who said you know the fan who gave you a standing ovation then five minutes after was cussing you off so i i was prepared to to hear all that you know all of that into a conflict but

SPEAKER_16

It was difficult, yes, to adjust, but I had some friends of mine from the neighborhood.

SPEAKER_16

I had a great manager who mostly, you know, all the players in the Negro League, they nurtured the young guys, you know, and I was fortunate to have that.

SPEAKER_16

That group of guys who were also Cubans that had played in the Negro League for a few years, a fellow by the name of Berger Drake, there was an outfielder, and...

SPEAKER_16

And the marriage, it was great.

SPEAKER_16

So I put it out of sight because my desire to become a professional baseball player and not to fail, maybe that's what made me overlook certain things.

SPEAKER_16

You know, I had to deal with it.

SPEAKER_16

I knew that I had to have a successful, if you want to call it, year, so I didn't want to get sent back home.

SPEAKER_16

And I guess I...

SPEAKER_16

I just didn't care about what people said.

SPEAKER_16

Describe for me what it was like playing in the Negro Leagues at that time.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, it was seemingly competitive, even though when I was growing up, we used to play in a sound-out field near my neighborhood.

SPEAKER_16

And the guy who was in charge of that field, every Tuesdays and Thursdays, he had special teams involved.

SPEAKER_16

that he will call the bride and the grooms.

SPEAKER_16

Because the brides were those of us who had never played professional baseball.

SPEAKER_16

And the grooms were guys who had come up to the United States and played an independent ball in Canada and in the Negro League.

SPEAKER_16

So we sort of had, you know, a little level of competition there, but not like, you know, winning the Negro League, you know, and it was competitive.

SPEAKER_16

But then you have to

SPEAKER_16

probably, you know, step up your skills and listen to what you have to do.

SPEAKER_16

And luckily for me, I had a good manager who understood, you know, when I fail and didn't holler at me and then say, Chico, if you talk a little bit of Spanish, usa cabeza, I mean, and then use your head and whatnot.

SPEAKER_16

And it was great, you know, because I had the nurture

SPEAKER_16

of those other guys who had the experience in the NBA.

SPEAKER_16

In 1959, the Washington Senators signed you, but shortly thereafter, you were drafted into the U.S.

SPEAKER_04

Army.

SPEAKER_04

A lot of people don't know that during that period of time, the military really had some pretty good teams, whether it be baseball or basketball.

SPEAKER_04

What was the military brand of baseball like for you?

SPEAKER_04

It was competitive, yes, as well.

SPEAKER_16

I would say competitive.

SPEAKER_16

Probably I would consider a lot of kids probably in Fort Bliss because I was stationed in Fort Hood and the Fort Family area.

SPEAKER_16

Fort Bliss, Harlingen, San Antonio, which I grew up in the medical center, El Paso.

SPEAKER_16
