they don't have money for baseball in the hood either... its an economics thing... how many pee wee leagues are around... how many basketball leagues are around... now how many baseball?? the field alone creates the biggest problems. most elementary and middle schools don't have them.... in the inner city, good luck finding a damn baseball field... and if you do have one, do all the other schools have them???
then like others say, they don't make black stars. not like football and basketball.. there have been black mega stars in both since the 60s. even college you become big playing these. they put you on magazines and espn and all that in high school. when's the last time you seen that for a baseball player? strasburg and the other kid on the nats... and what are they? white
quick... who's the biggest black baseball player right now?? name 10........ i can't and i watch sportscenter everyday.. so imagine a kid who doesn't do that much.. but you can catch lebron and rg3 on subway commercials and visa commercials and everything else
if you don't see a lot of your own kind succeeding in it, you're probably not gonna be likely to try to join up
