almost like race is a biological reality that has many different influences on what an individual gravitates to in life depending on which race he/she belongs to........

Since bats can be used as weapons I don't think we should encourage black people to be handling them

No racist but baseball is generally more mental than physical compared to contact sports like football or basketball

So the best players were black. Barry bonds, Mark McGwire, etc.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Idk, OP. Why are whites underrepresented in basketball and football?

The answer is: who gives a f*ck.

Sitting on your ass for 4 hours watching people throw a ball to each end of a field and back is boring as chit.

There are plenty of black people in baseball. The more accessible a sport is, the more varied the players will be.

They start at a young age and grow up with it
Here in cities, people play basketball first(shoes and ball) or football second.
There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

In the 1990s when I was growing up you had black people at the top of baseball
Baseball is not popular in the culture now so you see less.
When you have elite athletes they can often choose what sport they play as they can do either

Maybe, and this is just an out there guess, maybe, just maybe, they arent interested in playing it.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda
