    I was there for that. They also insisted on calling him Jackie Robinson. Q just shrugged and played along with it. He's brutal I tell you- BRUTAL.

    Quinn is a great guy and deserves to wear the LSU uniform.

    You know what... oh friggin' well... does everything have to be at the same percentage as society as a whole? if so, then who is crying for the white kids who want to play every other sport.

    I don't think that is what the article is meant to represent. It just states the obvious- there are very few black baseball players in the college ranks.

    Most of them sign out of high school.

    Very true. I can name very few in my time at LSU- Duncan, Youman and Stewart...

    Don't forget about Harris, Mouton and Albert (Joey) Belle.

    As an LSU fan, (actually one who went to LSU at the same time he did), I really don't like to claim Albert (Joey) Belle. I personally feel that he's a disgrace to the program.
