How can you rate a person a good answer?
It's all relative, my friend. In 1974 the percentage was 24%. It's dropped every year since I think (all the way to 9%).How important that is in the grand scheme depends on the person. But regardless of anyone's opinion, 24% to 9% is a statistically significant drop off.
If you had to make a baseball team of all Latin players?
Has to be one of the stupidest things I have read or heard in a long long time. No owner would NOT put a black guy on a roster if he was good enough to be there.the teams are all about winning and they are going to use the best player in their system at each position. I would like to have a few black players names that aren't playing at the major league level that deserve to be! Proof, and stats required.By the way I was not saying your comment was stupid, I happened to read something about this the other day. You are on the same side I am, just different way of looking at it!
