"Herrera regarded prejudice as the problem of the prejudiced, best met with an even temper and devotion to the task at hand." - Gus Sambrano
Sambrano played shortstop on the first state baseball champion in Texas in 1949. They came from the poorest town in the state, just north of the Mexican border. They ignored the racist comments, thanks to the determined example of Coach Herrera.
"Even temper and devotion." We'll all face unfairness. It's not a problem unless we allow it to be.
