Daque, I have read all of your comments on this subject. If what you say is true it seems as if we would have more african-americans playing baseball. Some will say that they lose interst, cost of playing, coaching etc.. I live in Atlanta where baseball is very popular in the african-american community. The younger teams (12 and under) are very good they compete with the best teams in the country because they are better athletes in my opinion and have more innate ability ,but after this age they fall off the map. I will admit that alot of the kids end up focusing on football and basketball but the ones that stay with baseball have a difficult time competeing for the most part with their white counterparts. If what you say is true it would be just the opposite. What are your thoughts on this? I hope no one is offended by this post I am just curious about this.
