I'm surprised black players are as much as 10% now. The NAACP has been crying about that for years now. Note that at the same time every other nationality in MLB (other than US) is rising dramatically. It's not White Americans' fault there are less black players now. Their spots are being taken by Japanese, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, etc.

Inner city kids don't play baseball because there is nowhere to play. Also, an errant baseball in the street does a hell of alot more damage than an errant soccer ball, basketball, or football. ;D

So there were places for them to play in the 70s and 80s? Did these places get taken away?
