More to Goldmembers point, its really expensive to excel as well. I have a good friend that plays college baseball and some others that play college football and basketball. Of course it could just be the person, but it seems much harder to get ahead of the competition in baseball.

As the OP mentions, there are a lot less baseball scholarships around than football and basketball. In order to get one of those scholarships, you need to be head and shoulders above the competition. Going to those expensive ass summer camps while you're growing up seems essential for baseball, as opposed to just relying on raw athletic ability in basketball and football.

It's all whitey's fault you know that.

MLB is now dominated by Latino's.

Minorities.

This is like complaining that there aren't enough Asians writing epic poetry...

Selig wants to know where the blacks have gone, but I wonder if he's asking after the last election where the whiteys have gone? Nope. He won't be asking that.

Yes.

We must have a committee for this.

And also we cannot:

say the word Christmas
no Easter Bunnies
no Washington Redskins

etc, etc, etc.

MLB is almost exclusively on cable these days. Even one of the two LCS is on cable every year. If you're an inner city kid you're probably less likely to have cable, so you may not even see much baseball all year.

Black people have evidently spoken.

They don't like baseball.

So the **** what!

I rarely watch NBA except for the last 2 minutes of any game.

Sounds like the NBA playoffs.

Barry Bonds screwed it all up for black people.

Blame him.

all about the money, baby.


more black people playing baseball = more black people watching baseball and buying tickets


have to get the black demo going

The thing is that black kids already feel like they can relate to NBA players. It's not as critical to draw them in.
With MLB they already don't relate that well, and having it be unseen just puts it further into the back of their mind.

Plus baseball is not very flashy.

No home run dances at home plate after you round the bases.

Can you imagine that? hehehehe

Let's end this right now: Soccer and Baseball are almost dominated by 2nd world countries because it's cheap to learn and play them.

End of ****ing story.

Soccer needs a ball.

Baseball needs 1 bat, 1 ball, and that's it.

The only reason Latinos and Asians don't dominate basketball is due to GENETICS.

Most of them just don't tend to grow that ****ing tall...

Yao Ming disagrees with this statement.

He's one in a million as far as height goes.

Proving my point...
