All Latin Team
MLB is running a promotion where fans can vote for a Latino Legends Team. According to the article, 29.2% of players on opening day rosters were Hispanics born outside the United States. That makes the calculation used in this post come out to 12.7% African Americans in baseball, right in line with the overall African American population.
What is next. The All White team. The all Asian team. The all Black team. We can then break it down further to the All Hebrew team, the all Irish team etc, etc, etc. I thought this was a team game and we tried to honor the team. When did it become Ethnic.
