Imagine if a white coach in the NBA or NFL complained about the lack of whites. The swamp media would get him fired within the hour. But they cheer dusty baker and his anti-white racism.
Baker: Lack of US-born Black players in WS 'hurts'
Dusty Baker says it "hurts" to know that there won't be any U.S.-born Black players that kids could look up to in this World Series.

When he leads the Houston Astros in Game 1 of the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night, the AL and NL champions are expected to play without any U.S.-born Black players for the first time since 1950, shortly after Jackie Robinson broke the Major League Baseball color barrier.
It's a fact that deeply disturbs the 73-year-old Baker, one of two Black MLB managers, who has spent his entire life either playing or coaching baseball.
"What hurts is that I don't know how much hope that it gives some of the young African-American kids," Baker told The Associated Press on Thursday. "Because when I was their age, I had a bunch of guys, [Willie] Mays, [Hank] Aaron, Frank Robinson, Tommy Davis -- my hero -- Maury Wills, all these guys. We need to do something before we lose them."
"I don't think that that's something that baseball should really be proud of," said Baker, who won a World Series as an outfielder with the Dodgers in 1981 and is seeking his first championship as a manager. "It looks bad. It lets people know that it didn't take a year or even a decade to get to this point."
