But even picturesque Alex Box Stadium, festooned with a mixture of chromatics unprecedented in college baseball, is missing a color from the LSU dugout.

The best players, BLACK OR WHITE, skip college and sign a big-league contract right out of high school.

They also only get partial scholarships.

There aren't many in the pro's either. This is something that MLB has recognized over the years and has stated as a target to shoot for.

very good article! tells it the way it is - 78% black in basketball, 65 % in pro football, but the limited schlorships in college baseball is the factor.

We better start FORCING people to play baseball instead of football and basketball.

This is correct. Look around the S.E.C. and at the teams in the College World Series every year. Blacks are few and far between. It's demographics. Has nothing to do with racist college baseball coaches trying to keep them out.
