MAKE BASEBALL BLACK AGAIN


This article is to help rectify and already highly discussed topic. We aim to bring back the deep rooted history of baseball to the African-American community. In 1981, Black baseball players were at an all time high of 18.7% in Major League Baseball. As years progressed baseball has expanded its influence across the globe but has not rectified the decline in Black Americans. As of 2017 black baseball players represent 7.7% of major leaguers; this disparity has caused a shift in fans and young athletes wanting to be apart of the game. By creating this campaign we aim to REVIVE, REDEFINE, and REPRESENT for black and browns playing baseball across the globe. We hope to empower, inspire and motivate beginning, amateur, collegiate and Professionals alike.
