So that means I have to hear about the tragedy that the MLB is only 6% American black. It's just the national percentage of the black American male population but blacks not being overly represented is a bad thing.

Likely because while he played professional baseball, it was in 1884, before the MLB was officially founded.
I'm guessing this is a bit sensationalist...the MLB is going to bring in the talent, and that comes largely from those who put the work in.
True about Walker. Baseball is my favorite sport and one of my dream jobs would be a baseball historian so I love that kind of info.
Yea maybe they are just sensationalist morons but I want to tell the people who write the articles that a black guy with talent for baseball will be signed. Like during a recent World Series one guy made a fuss about there being no black Americans on the roster. Not sure what he thinks the MLB can do. I remember trying to get my cousins interested and they told me it was too boring
No im saying that you’re being sensationalist
Fine. I have seen such articles or people talking about it like it’s a crisis but what do I know. I guess we have nothing left to discuss. Have a good day sir.
I mean I looked a few up, but none that I find really blame the MLB for it.
The sport is expensive, especially in US culture, so it becomes a bit more class related than race.
I think it’s important to look more deeply at the info then going with a knee jerk reaction
