[quote=Anonymous]I think a mom on here has a son who works for the orioles as an analyst/programmer, iirc, so she maybe can shed light on this but I can say that black kids also have almost no interesting 'breaking in' in the front office setting either. I've been to baseball winter meetings and I've seen more women trying to 'break in' and get recruited for front office roles than black people. Now some of it is the shift towards front office recruiting mirroring finance/consulting/law type recruiting (which I believe wilbon and bryant and other black writers are in the wrong of disparaging) as being an impediment towards blacks getting into the game through that route. But it isn't like there aren't black people at elite schools. Trust me -a black kid that can program half decently and comes from a top 25 school and has cursory knowledge/interest of the game would get picked up very quickly by a mlb front office. [/quote]
