Props to Gary Sheffield about Baseball's Racial ways

Baseball's Gary Sheffield a Outfielder for the Detriot Tigers spoke the truth recently when he mentioned the fact that Black Players are being slowly written out and more Latino Players are being pushed into Major League Baseball. Sheffield said the reason is because the Latino Player is more easier to control. a Black Ball Player,not all but quite a few aren't gonna go for these Teams treating them all any kind of way.I find it truly sad that here on Jackie Robinson's 60 th year anniversary of breaking the color line in Major League baseball at how some teams in MLB don't even have African-American ball players. it truly is wrong.i've always applauded and respected a Brother like Gary Sheffield who has been one of the few Big time Athletes to truly speak his mind.the reality is simple,a Black Player who doesn't pan out with a team can just bounce,but the scouts and Managers/Owners who run these teams control a young Latino Ball player and also with threats of sending them back to there home country and without pay as well.Gary Shieffield's Uncle is Dwight "Doc" Gooden and He saw a whole lot.I dig Black Athlete's that speak on the real and Ain't afraid and there ain't that many around who speak on the real.Props to Gary Sheffield.
