Astros might be South America's team. Only 11 of them are U.S. citizens. There's a reason for that. Not enough AMERICAN BORN players can beat them out to make an MLB Roster. They are flat out better baseball players. There is a bit of a numbers game to it. Population of latin Americans countries is about double that of the U.S. so it does make sense that there would be more. However there is a high concentration from small population countries. MLB needs better out reach to all communities. Black Americans used to make up close to 20% of all MLB players, and now it’s down to around 6%. Between 1949-1969 black Americans won 15 NL MVPs. America can’t be the best baseball country by alienating the communities. Unfortunately the social demographics mixed with youth baseball becoming a money game is turning the greatest sport in the world into a rich white kid game. It’s suppose to be Americas’ game.

There are a lot of social and economic reasons why MLB has seen an increase in Latin players in the league. The bottom line is it's cheaper for an MLB team to build a training complex in Central/South America, sign kids at 15, and develop them for pennies. Compared to the cost of trying to build the popularity of the game in the US in underprivileged areas.

Times like this I miss the old hometown where I grew up. The excitement must be through the roof. Take it all in.

Game one would be hard to top. My cardiologist and I wouldn't mind a comfortable Rangers win tonight.
