Whats the problem with "American" Baseball, there are too many foriegn players. Now that we cannot win "Our" Game mabe people will notice this and how spoiled our atheltes are. How would the players from the past have done? I would be willing to bet that the "real" baseball players from the days when it was still a game would have crushed any and all others brave enough to face us. MLB needs to take a hard look at where they are and where they want to be.

Yes there wqas racism here as well as every where else. The point is that players in the past played for the love of the game and not for money. Minor injuries did not sideline players like they do today. This discussion could go on and on. Look at players such as Lou Gerhrig, Ty Cobb, Hank Arron, Willie Mays ...and tell me who youwould rather see play.
