Systemic racism really goes all the way back to youth and little league baseball, in that baseball has become entirely too expensive for most families of colour.

That is patently untrue and I coached youth baseball for 10 years.

Yes baseball is expensive but what about the cost of Air Jordans?

It only takes a glove and a bat to play baseball and it is not all about travel ball which I frowned upon.

Kids gravitate to the sports they want to play. I coached one kid and told him some day he would make a great catcher. I mean this kid was good. The dumbass decided to play football in HS and tore up his ACL. I asked his dad later WTF were you doing. This kid could have been a contender.
