Ken Griffey Jr speaking on lack of Black Baseball players
Props to One of the Greatest Baseball Players Ever Ken Griffey Jr speaking out on the fact that Baseball hasn't embraced and gone to the Hood and tried to bridge the gap. Baseball instead has stayed overseas in the Dominican Republican, and also to China,Japan,etc.. but aren't touching down in the Ghettos or Black based neighborhoods seeking out Young talent. you have Great talents like Curtis Guanderson,Ryan Howard,Jimmy Rollins, Dontrell Wills hardly getting any endoresements and whatnot and the average kid nowadays sees Lebron James everywhere,Dwayne Wade, Carmello Anothony,Kobe Bryant,etc... but when it comes to Baseball what? and lets forget how Baseball has moonwalked from the Home Run King Barry Bonds and how they treated him as well. Ken Griffey Jr was talking about his own son not feeling Baseball and the fact that Nike and other corperate companys ain't targeting younger Black boys and Men to push the game. what would Jackie RObinson,Larry Dolby and Other Black Baseball Pioneers say about the state of the game and lack on interaction with younger Black Boys in the inner city who could possibly be the next Griffey,Bonds,Mays,Aaron, Frank Robinson, jackie Robinson,Satachel Page,ROy Campinella,Larry Dolby..etc....????????
