What happened to Blacks in baseball?

[Redrifle]

WE ran this sport. It was part of our culture as it was part of the American culture. I miss those days. Football is great and all but man growing up baseball was THE sport.

What killed me from playing baseball was travel basketball/aau. When I was young during the summer it was baseball time, but once you start playing aau them days is over.

7 on 7 leagues for football probably has the same effect now

I read that African-Americans now make up 7 percent of MLB players...
It was around 30 percent in the 70s and 80s
