"Bob Feller seldom had an especially generous word to say about people who might have been considered as good as him. The kinds of things that Feller told me in an interview that I expected to last 10 minutes and went on for two hours; the things that he told me, made me think that if Bob Feller thinks Satchel Paige might have been the greatest pitcher ever, who am I to disagree with him?"
Bob Feller biographer Larry Tye

"Shed no tears for Buck. I couldn't attend Sarasota HS. That hurt. I couldn't attend the University of Florida. That hurt. But not going into the HOF, that ain't going to hurt me that much, no. Before, I wouldn't even have a chance. But this time I had that chance. Just keep loving old Buck"

"I hope that someday, the names of Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson can be added to the symbol of the great Negro League players that are not here only because they were not given a chance"
Ted Williams
"No one encouraged me. I thought this thing alone. I’ve seen Satchel Paige. I’ve seen Josh Gibson. I heard about Buck Leonard. I heard about some of the other great black athletes. It just came out at that Hall of Fame day and I thought about the great players of the past. Only because of their color, they didn’t have a chance to play in the big leagues."
Ted Williams told Bob Costas in the early '90s that speaking up for Negro League players was one of his proudest moments in baseball.
