I've been under the impression that a lot of black kids just aren't as interested in baseball anymore. Basketball and football seem to be getting pushed as more "black" sports, with more stars for young black kids to look up to and emulate, while baseball has become more of a latino sport.

It's sad that black kids can't look up to white guys and white kids can't look up to black guys without being made to feel it's inappropriate. Black kids in particular are sometimes viewed as "trying to be white" if they look up to a white person.
