RIP Edwin Pope 1928-2017
I don't know if a sportswriter can still influence a kid's way of looking at sports in the internet age. Edwin Pope was one of those influences for me growing up in Miami.

And until a colored man is a full citizen, like me, I haven’t the leisure to enjoy the freedom that colored man risked his life to maintain for me. I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946 |
