Too much standing around, not enough physical contact, not as cool as football or basketball or even hockey, maybe even too hard. I'd love to know why the numbers are down with African-American's. I don't think there's a shortage of super-star players for young black kids to look up to. I didn't mean to take this thread offroad, but this I'm very interested in this topic. But maybe it helps explain why baseball games sell only slightly better than hockey games. Back in the day, even a Canadian like me couldn't wait to get my hands on the latest baseball game. Baseball Simulator 2000 was the poop man!

Not to keep the thread derailed, but this is a hatred of mine. As an African-American growing up in bad neighborhoods, baseball was never spotlighted. I played b/c I loved sports, but this put me in the minority (obviously), it's much easier to play basketball alone and/or get a basketball/football and find a park or playground to play.

Funny thing is my city is home to one of the best little leagues in america

Am I the only one excited about them adding necklace's in the game?

I don't want to derail this thread either so I started this one:

I'd love to hear your opinion as to why fewer kids are playing, especially African-American's.
