Dennis (Oil Can) Boyd, who signed with Montreal this winter after eight years with Boston, accused Boston Manager Joe Morgan and some of his former Red Sox teammates of racist attitudes.
“All I wanted was for Morgan to treat me with respect. Morgan was bad for me. . . . He felt blacks couldn’t pitch. He felt they couldn’t think out there on the mound.”
