Wale’s got the answers
A couple days ago, a debate was had on ESPN‘s Mike & Mike morning radio show concerning the lack of African American players on MLB rosters between Mike Golic & Mike Greenberg, and Wale (not surprisingly) chimed in on Twitter. While there the shortage of minority players on Major League Baseball rosters isn’t the most glaring–currently, and for quite some time, some of the league’s most outstanding performers have been hispanic or of Asian descent–but African-Americans are not plentiful in America’s pastime.
Yesterday, Wale let loose with a few tweets trying to convince Mike Golic and Greenberg of his theory, and when you analyze it, there’s validity to it.
