Gaaaaary

Gary Sheffield is a crazy human being. In a Dark Alley Poll, he ranks near the top of instant killers to avoid. That wild look he gets in his eyes makes one want to pee his and/or her pants. Anyways, his militancy continues. But in the midst of his neverending us against them shtick, a larger point sticks out: holy crap, only 8.5% of MLB players are African-American. By my count there are only two African-American starting pitchers in the whole league (Dontrelle and CC Sabathia). The league runs baseball academies off back roads in the Dominican (think Pedro under a mango tree) but they've got nothing similar in Chicago or New York. Why don't we ever hear about this?
