I coached little league and you could not get the African American kids to play. Baseball has become a well off game. Players have to come from households with a lot of disposable money. Gloves are $250.00 bats are $300.00 and travel baseball is in the thousands.

14 of the 26 members of their WS roster are Hispanic, including 3 Cubans.

Michael Brantley, but he is recovering from shoulder surgery and not on the roster.

Still, pretty damn whitey white white. Ugh..

the lack of AA players all around. I was wondering if it was me or if there really was a lack of AA players in the MLB.

That is quite interesting. Not sure what it means. Someone upthread noted it was the cost of equipment. I would guess lack of facilities in AA neighborhoods is also a factor.

I've heard over the years that the baseball demographics were headed in this direction, but I don't follow the game and had no idea it had reached this point.
