It was also the first Grey Cup for a black coach. Pinball = Class.

PINBALL MILESTONE: Michael (Pinball) Clemons downplayed the distinction of being the first black head coach to win the Grey Cup.

"Maybe I don't appreciate it as much because I live here year-round now and we're more of a colour-blind nation," Clemons said after his Argonauts defeated the B.C. Lions.

"I don't really see that kind of thing but maybe it does have some level of significance. The reason I have a problem appreciating the significance is that I feel I'm the smallest part of our success.

"I'm here to support others so they can have success."

However, the native of Clearwater, Fla., said it meant a lot to his mother. "She was 18 when she had me and she had just finished high school," he said. "She went to a segregated high school, so we're not talking that long ago."
