The underlying notion that blacks are not well represented in baseball ignores the fact that it's due to an increase of Hispanic and Asian players. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig commented on air during the game that the 8% total for African-Americans was a problem that needed to be looked at, yet he didn't indicate whether he would need to reduce the number of Hispanics and Asians in baseball in order to accomplish this.

  • The underlying notion that blacks are not well represented in baseball ignores the fact that it's due to an increase of Hispanic and Asian players. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig commented on air during the game that the 8% total for African-Americans was a problem that needed to be looked at, yet he didn't indicate whether he would need to reduce the number of Hispanics and Asians in baseball in order to accomplish this. Associated Press news releases focused on the drop in African-Americans, and quoted Cleveland pitcher C. C. Sabathia on the idea that baseball must do more to promote the game in inner cities, saying, "It's not just a problem — it's a crisis." The articles tended not to mention that Richard Lapchick's study gave players a A+. Instead, they mentioned only that Lapchick gave baseball a B+ for racial diversity, and then cited administrative statistics which were less impressive in their diversity.
