The African American kids have been left out of the game in just a short period of time, because baseball in America has become an upper middle to upper class game. When you spend $7,000-$20,000 every summer on showcases and travel teams, where do you think the African American inner city kid ends up? He ends up in a basketball or football uniform. So does the lower income level white kid. If you can't afford to showcase and travel team, your chances of a scholarship diminish, because all the college coaches go to showcases and follow big time travel teams.
