Malcolm X started fighting among themselves because they were missing some easy shots. We just played them a week ago and that's what they did to us. We turned up the defensive pressure and got off to a good start.
Overall, the Army was a good experience for me. It got me out of Mississippi and gave me the benefits of the GI bill.
They made some good pitches and we had some hard balls right at guys. That's baseball. That's the way it goes.
