I remember an old Negro Leaguer telling a story to an audience about playing when he was one of the youngest in the league with one of the old legends. I may have some of the facts wrong about this but I do know the ending is accurate. The old legend told about his time working at one of training camps of the MLB teams long before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier and he kept telling the manager "I'm better than these guys. Let me have an at bat". Finally at the end of camp, the manager let him hit at the end of the last exhibition game. He stepped up to the plate and laced a line drive deep into the left/center gap. As he's rounding 2nd base, blazing his way to a stand up triple, the manager steps up to the top of the dugout and yells out "Look at that Mexican run!"
