Interesting discussion here between David Justice and Keyshawn Johnson about why less and less black kids are getting into baseball. The amount of American black players in MLB is at an all-time low since integration.

IMO this is totally fixable if MLB wanted to. Justice makes some good points about why MLB seemingly doesn't want to...the cheaper, more readily accessible talent in the Latin market is the main reason IMO. Plus the whole travel ball revolution is a huge factor.

What do yall think?
