re: Some local wannabe writer talking about LSU's lack of black baseball players

The author does not accuse LSU of racism in its baseball recruiting. He simply uses the LSU example as a launching point to discuss the severely limited numbers of blacks currently involved in the sport. This has been a problem for decades now, which IMO makes the article's premise rather stale and prosaic. In that sense, the author deserves acknowledgement in his invocation of the local powerhouse program as a tactic by which to stir interest in a problem that needs attention but has desensitized fans to its existence because of its lasting ubiquity.
