About 60% of the league is white, 30% latino (which would probably include latino guys that see themselves as black like Papi), 8% black and 2% asian. As a middle aged white guy, it's hard to really speak towards a black man's perspective on this. I can see where he's coming from, but can only imagine what would happen if a white guy complained that the nba was a black man's league.
The problem is that baseball is a sport that takes a lot of space and equipment to play. Instead of focusing on what the league looks like now racially, I think MLB should keep working on bringing the game back to the inner city.
