View Full Version : Blacks not welcome in Baseball?

06-03-2003, 05:37 PM
Im watching MSG ANgles show and George Wills of the New York POST claims that Baseball has way too few blacks.
He claims that MLB has only 10.5% blacks.

How can this be? I watch baseball all the time and it seems like half the team is black.

If this statistic is correct - does anyone think its intentional?

Practically everyone on the Yankees is black, plus Sosa, Bonds, and the other popular ones are even mostly black. He had to of meant on management.

The Yankees have hardly any blacks. I can think of two that are half black......Godamn I cant think of one black guy on the yankees!

Sosa is not black.
If you think about it, youll realize baseball has hardly any black players. %10 sounds about right. They're all playing football and basketball.

They're black (I guess), but from Hispanic countries. That counts, right?

edit: Fine. Soriano isn't black.

17. C LathamHe's not with the Yankees anymore. But he was black, too, wasn't he?

Why not? The blacks in Hispanic countries have the same common ancestry of many of the blacks in this country.

If a white guy is born in zombabwe, he's still considered white. How is that different for black people?

Of course they're not welcome in baseball! That's why they have the NEGRO league.
Besides, look at the names in MLB:
Chicago WHITE sox
N.Y. YANKEES
Boston RED soxs
Toronto BLUE jays
Cleveland INDIANS
Anaheim ANGELS
Texas RANGERs
San Diago PADRES
Cinncinati REDS

They got some colors in there and other stuff but no BLACKS! (And you wonder WHY)

First off I said he was half black. Secondly i wasnt the one that brought up him being from a hispanic country. He could be from Maine for all i know.

Not only that, but you have to have mulla now a days if you want to take a family of four to the ball park. What ever happened to the days of baseball being fan friendly?
