Robinson Sees Negro Managers Remain Rare in Majors
Jackie Robinson says major leagues will take years to name a Negro manager, calling club owners narrow minded and gutsless. He cites Horace Stoneham of the Giants as possibly fearless, praises Red Auerbach for naming Bill Russell Celtics coach, and notes potential Black managers like Elston Howard Bill White Ernie Banks Wes Covington and Bill Bruton. He says he considered Montreal and Brooklyn CFL GM roles but unlikely in MLB due to bias.
