        50.8% of the population is female. Females comprise 0% of players in MLB. Your point is?

        has actually zero to do with MLB. Would have to do with inner-city communities doing away with "Hardball" leagues

        That's misleading due to the large amount of black latin American players in the game. It's just reality, not a race issue.

        Best players play. Best man for the job. They are in it to make money. If you want to play in MLB, be one of the best. Bottom line!
