Who will win the weekend series Angels of Anaheim vs Yankee suck?
It doesn't matter, at least not to me. Come on, black people dominate basketball and football, while we only got hockey. White people have always been better at baseball and I don't see a problem with it, blacks dominate bball and football, so its good that we are allowed to at least dominate one sport.I think it is just a ploy for the MLB to show that they care about diversity in baseball, it doesnt REALLY matter if black people choose not to play, because there are always tons of people willing to play, just as long as baseball isnt trying to keep black people out of baseball, which I dont think is the case.

It matters because baseball was the first of the major sports to fully integrate. The NFL and NBA didn't allow black players until after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball.However, in the past 20 years, because of people like Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan, basketball is the preferred sport of young black athletes now. Not that the NBA shouldn't be trying to grow its game, but it's also taking good players away from baseball. Dave Winfield, Hall of Famer with the Padres and Yankees (among other teams), had the opportunity to play in the NBA back in the 70's, but chose baseball instead. However today, if Winfield were offered a chance to play in either the majors or the NBA, he would probably choose the NBA over baseball. Same goes for Padres Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, who was an All-American basketball player at San Diego State, but also chose baseball over the NBA.
I am going to Boston in July to see the Red Sox and wondering where to park?
It shouldn't matter. Players are picked for their talent, not their color.Why does a 'K' count as a putout for the catcher?
It doesn't matter.The only reason people are suddenly making a big deal about it is because of the 60th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's breaking of the color barrier.
Give it about 2 weeks and they'll start talking about the lack of black coaches in the NFL.which to me, also doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter. I believe after so much time has passed since the days of racism and prejudice in America that we should not bring up matters that we have put behind us. Yes this was once a country that was ruled by tragic social injustices, but we need to move on. Let people play any sport they choose. I think we are only adding fuel to the fire when we bring these kind of things up. I don't watch a sport and complain that there is not an adequate representation of persons of any ethnic background. People need to move on. What about the chrisis' we are facing with healthcare, inflation, foreign war, and other problems? I think these should be the real situations we need to assess.
Right now MLB needs to market the game to the inner cities, not focus on the fact that 8% of the league is African American. Obviously, NFL and NBA have a vice grip on that market.
I mentioned this many times before when I say the game is to expensive for the inner city kids, and there are limited facilities and baseball leagues in the inner cities.
For example, it cost me $300 to have my nephew placed in little league. I will itemize it for you:
1- League fees - $120
2- Equipment - $170
3- Transportation to games (NYC Transit $4), because it is tough to find a good league.
This number is tough for a parent or uncle living in the inner city.
MLB should get up off their asses and go into the inner cities and promote baseball like NFL and NBA did. Get the scouts to go to more inner city games (yes you can find talent outside of the Dominican Republic). I believe that MLB and the black community do raise a valid point, but they do nothing to help. They leave it to me to get my nephew into league rather than my nephew looking for me to put him in a league.
It is a shame that the league celebrated a great man (Jackie) 10 years ago with a mission to get more African Americans interested in the game of baseball. Ten years later they are right where they started or they have digressed.
With that all being said, what does it matter to MLB.
P.S.- They should have filled Dodger stadium Sunday night with all Los Angeles inner city kids, and that would have been the biggest step they would have taken in ten years.
