Prejudice remains
in professional baseball
In 1947 Jackie Robin
son was credited with
having been the first
Black to don a profess
ional baseball uniform.
Since then thousands
of American-born Blacks
have and are crossing the
same path to glory and
fame. Many of them have
acquired great wealth, a
piece of the good life;
they have been our heroes
on and off the Held.
I don’t know if you’ve
noticed, but the number
of American-born Blacks
on professional baseball
teams has been declining
in recent years. Experts
have given all kinds of
reasons for the
abatement.
Some say more Blacks
are interested in the other
sports, and therefore,
there is less to choose
from. Then there’s the
importing of players
from Cuba, the
Dominican Republic and
Puerto Rico. Some even
say the large white
crowds will not support
teams with a lot of
Blacks.
All of these assum
ptions appear to be
ludicrous. Why has it
only affected the
representation of Ameri
can Black ball players?
The truth is that
professional baseball
owners have not been ten-

he did not want to com
ment on the suit’s conten
ts until he had read it. But
he said he believes the suit
grew out of recent
demands made by a
group of Black residents
that the county council
move to a singe-member
acious in their efforts to
recruit and play good
Black ball players.
Look at some of the
teams. When Boston
takes to the field, Jim
Rice is usually the only
one who could run for
Mr. Black America; a few
years ago Houston didn’t
have a single American
born Black on its starting
roster. And the list goes
on.
For the past few weeks,
baseball owners have
been proving my point.
Hank Aaron, who is
without a doubt one of
the best, and is now and
executive with the Atlan
ta Braves, has made it
known he wants the
Commissioner of Baseball
job. Yet, his plea has
fallen on deaf ears.
What’s the reason?
Bowie Kuhn has now for
ced the owners’ hands.
At the baseball owners’
last meeting, Kuhn stated
he no longer sought the
job and would not accept
it under any circumstan
ces. The door is now open
for the owners to act.
Is Hank going to get
the job? Your guess is as
good as mine. But if
things continue as they
have been, chances are he
won’t. Maybe this sport
no longer belongs with
hot dogs, apple pie and e
