    He's actually right here. Back in '12 when Bama won their WCWS title I got curious about those numbers. I found a study out of one of the Florida schools (I believe it was published on the NCAA site) that found the African American population made up 20% of the rosters in D1.

    It must be a lot lower than that for College baseball. And in MLB most of the black players are also latino.

    Oh so THAT'S where the "L" in "black" comes from.

    Yes, it was. Damn. Been a long time since I read that report. I'm thinking it was around 15%...probably a point or two less.

    Ding ding. 19-8. If this is high school, it's usually a done deal with 12 after 3 and 10 after 5. Time to go home.

    May have been, and maybe so, but no ump wants to look like an ass. I understand you have no concept of that- being worried about looking like an ass.

    Well, when you've been through oh never mind.

    That dude didn't care. He wanted to go home. Had probably been out there all weekend putting up with shit from every parent who thinks their girl is the next best thing. AND!

    It's women's softball. One rung up the ladder from women's basketball which is a complete waste of time. Nothing to see here, move along.
