Twins dispute Jackson attack Over minorities Minneapolis a a spokesman for the Minnesota twins has disputed the suggestion of California Angels slugger Reggie Jackson that racism is the reason the twins Don t have More Black players. I can understand what Reggie says Andy Macphail twins vice president of player personnel said monday. All he sees is what s on the Field now. \ but it would be crazy for us to eliminate i a portion of ballplayers because of race. Hell we want to i Jackson talking to reporters during Bat Ting practice before sunday s twins Angels i game at the met Odorne said the Lack of Black players on the Minnesota team is an absolute you got players who can t even play and there Are coloured boys who need work said Jackson who is Black. The twins have one american born Black player on their 24-Man roster Kirby Puckett who leads the team in hitting and Home runs. The Only other minority player on the team is Alex Sanchez a Black from the dominican Republic. That gives the twins the fewest number of Blacks and other minority players of any team in the major leagues. Quoted in monday s editions of the min Neapolis Star and Tribune and St. Paul Pioneer press and dispatch Jackson accused reporters of missing a news Story by not pursuing the absence of color on the twins. Why Don t you write it Jackson asked the reporters. I should t have to say it. You should write it. But you make me say it and sound like a pop off and a said Macphail Reggie s objection is going to take care of itself within a couple of years and i think it s already taking effect when you look throughout our farm Macphail said the twins roster might be dominated by White players because the team has always emphasized slugging in Stead of defense and Speed. We re shifting the emphasis away from Power Macphail said. The twins Are looking to improve their Speed and their defensive ability because of the fast artificial surface in the met radome Macphail said. That emphasis should result in More minority players on the club he said. Jackson said the Lack of minorities in the twins organization is an embarrassment to Minnesota. There Aren t prejudiced people Here Jackson said. It s a Beautiful place. There Are More interracial marriages Here than anyplace in the Jackson s criticism was not the first of its kind. Racism with the twins has been an Issue at least since october 1978 when for Mer twins owner Calvin Griffith spoke to the Waseca minn., Lions club. In that speech Griffith was quoted by the Minneapolis Tribune As saying ill Tell you Why we twins came to Minnesota it was when i found out you had 15,000 Blacks Here. Blacks Don t go to Ball games. We came Here because you be got Good hard working White people Griffith claims the quote was taken out of context.
