Yes, a 19 year playing career followed by a managerial career of 29 years, a few short breaks between teams since managers seek new jobs rather than being traded. And he’s implying racism?
Then there is the NBA.
It tends to allow lots of long rap sheets in the league.
Why not more non-criminals?
Nope. And lots of those Hispanics are black, at least by the one drop rule favored by the left.
I’m sick of the media and the woke left defining everything in society by race and sex. All it does is divide people, which apparently is what they want.
Baseball and soccer dominates Latin America and the Caribbean.
Pedro and Big Poppy are national heros in the Dominican Republic. EVERY kid plays from a very young age.
The real problem is there are not enough Black NHL players.
What’s basketball?
Baseball is a sport passed from father to son, so it’s not hard to figure out why there are fewer American Blacks playing today.
So thank LBJ,
They will see that there are plenty of blacks playing in the World Series.
Last Winter Olympics the left bitched about the lack of blacks in the sport of ... wait for it ... curling!
The stupid - it hurts ... discussing anything with a lefty is likened to playing chess with a pigeon ... you know the rest.
I coached Little League for about 10 years in the eighties in Austin. I don’t remember EVER seeing a black kid on any Little League team and we played teams all over Central Texas. One requirement of Little League, or any youth sport, is a parent or guardian to bring their kid to the ballpark.....AND, including practices, that means nearly every day in season.
“...there aren’t enough black players in the World Series. “
And, there are a disproportionately high number of blacks in the NBA.
And that’s racist.
“Per a quick google search baseball players are, White 57.5%
Hispanic 31.9%
Black 7.7%
Asian/Other 2.9%.”
I don’t watch MLB anymore but from what I used to see, there’s a lot of those 31.9% who I would call black.
It’s the bats. Bats were (and probably still are) being used to beat up blacks. /s
Benny, at least be consistent with your vile "reasoning".
From the census info, whites including Hispanic whites, 75.8%, not including them 59.1%. My guess black Hispanics are around 16%, considering them black overweight’s blacks at around 23-24% vs 13.6% in the general population.
Considered? They are black. Both these World Series teams have a lot of black players not from the US.
They’re talking American blacks as the decreased group.
Percent of American white players in MLB has dropped a lot too, but not as much as the percent of American blacks.
Black people don’t like baseball. White people don’t like baseball. If we could only get the Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans on board we will have united the nation.
Until this crap stops about racism in sports we’ll never watch another Football or Baseball game again......the minute Krappyneck took that knee and others followed suit, then that Commissioner (whose name escapes me at the moment and shows that I don’t care) then the owners started groveling we said ENOUGH! We grew up in Houston and remember the good old days before this woke crap started and haven’t watched an Astros game since....not even now.
From the shots of the crowds in the games, it appears that the fans are not very diverse. Maybe the next issue will be demanding that 13% of the seats at the World Series games be set aside for African Americans (born in the USA only).
