The French National soccer team at the recent Euro 2004 tournament was made up of immigrants (mostly African), with the exception of goalie Fabien Bartez.

Yeah, wow! Thank god our baseball teams aren't anything like that! Matsui, Contreras, El Duque, etc...! And that's just one team. Hrm....

There is a big difference between a club team and a national team !

Yes,the names are definitely leaning toward the Latin side in baseball but,then again,isn't baseball really a meritocracy?I doubt very much many black or white potential superstars are kept from the Majors by some sort of bizarre Hispanic affirmative action program!

I thought I'd never see the day when the US Men's National team would have more native players than the typical MLB baseball team.
