"Making baseball a more diverse sport is something we both agreed on and felt it was a need for the future."

Hmmm...a major influx of Asian and Carribbean players in the last 15 years and the sport isn't "diverse" enough?

major influx of Asian and Carribbean players

Ya think?

Active Roster for a team in the Northeast.

County of birth	#	%
Dominican	5	20%
Puerto Rican	4	16%
Japanese	2	8%
USA	14	56%
Sox Total	25	100%
Non US Players		44%

If I add in 1 Japanese (Dice-k's translator), and 1 Dominican (Manny's coatholder) because they were officially introduced and trotted out onto the field during the Opening Day Ceremony, that total would be 48%.

Say goodbye to "as AMERICAN as Mom, Baseball, and Apple Pie".

Say Buenos Dias to Mamacita and Empanada de Manzana.
