How many white running backs are there? Just seems like certain skill sets suite certain races differently.
Baseball though might have more of an excuse because right now it mostly consist of white and latino players. I had a teammate back in high school that played baseball during the spring and he used to joke about how he was "the only brother out there." Anyway I think Joe Morgan was right when he said that most black kids are choosing to play football and basketball instead of baseball.
