Do you realize that blacks made up a disproportionate percentage of MLB players from 1968 to 1998?
Maybe this has more to do with "Like Mike, if I could be like Mike" than your racist rhetoric suggests.

What did I say that is explicity racist? I only get called "racist" because I refuse to play dumb on issues and because I recognize the racial and socioeconomic components of many issues.
During that time there was a DIRECT black pipeline for players : the negro leagues. That does not exist anymore and we're probably 2-3 generations removed from the players that actually remember it.
The negro leagues and intregation played a large part in that spike; did you ever consider that?
