In the last decade or so, high school baseball has seen fewer and fewer black players suiting up. But that divide isn't just in scholastic sports - it's being noted in college and pro baseball, as well.

According to Major League Baseball's Race and Gender Report Card, which was released last month, as few as 8 percent of the pro rank is made up of black players. A story in the Sun Sentinel, based out of South Florida, points to several reasons for this race differential:

• Opportunity. For every eight Division I football scholarships, there is just one baseball scholarship at that level. Not a good ratio, certainly.
• Finances. Aluminum bats, gloves and equipment (like that of a catcher) is not often offered by the school, unlike football pads. And very little resources are needed for basketball. Not to mention summer camps, which can range in the hundreds of dollars.

What are your thoughts on this racial divide in baseball? Is Delaware County facing this problem currently?
