I was not bitter by not being allowed to play in the major leagues. I just said, 'The time has not come.' Buck Leonard allowbitterleague Change image and share on social
I only wish I could have played in the big leagues when I was young enough to show what I could do. When an offer was given to me to join up, I was too old, and I knew it. Buck Leonard bigjoinknow Change image and share on social
We in the Negro leagues felt like we were contributing something to baseball, too, when we were playing. We played with a round ball, and we played with a round bat. And we wore baseball uniforms, and we thought that we were making a contribution to baseball. We loved the game, and we liked to play it. Buck Leonard ballbaseballbat share on social
