The baseball season is right around the corner. Looking forward to seeing what Harper and Trout do as encores. Also looking forward to continued white dominance at the pitcher position.

I'm looking forward to it as well. One thing I like is how teams can get much whiter in a hurry, like the Angels, or even the Yankees for that matter, who should have about 4 white position players (including DH). Also, most of the better teams are fairly white, with the unfortunate exception of Los Tigres.

I never fail to be amazed at the money baseball players earn. For the 13th straight year, Alex Rodriguez, who is pretty much washed up and will miss at least half of the new season with a surgically repaired hip, will earn the most at $29 million for 2013. There's at least 10 players who will earn at least $24 million. The average MLB salary for '13 is $3.67 million.

Too bad more blacks "just aren't interested" enough in baseball to earn that kind of dough. Which reminds me, it's just about time to roll Joe Morgan out of mothballs for his annual whining about the lack of black players, who will be joined by various other blacks and "bergs" and "steins" blaming the alleged "problem" on everything but its unmentionable cause -- there are a lot of Whites and hispanics that are better at baseball than blacks. And many of the hispanics are taking the jobs of more deserving Whites who are caste off after starring at big college programs.

Well the baseball season is underway and their seems to be some early bright spots.

Bryce Harper and Mike Trout are the two known commodities and the face of the game.

Some other trends and players I have been noticing:
The Mets have really had a complete makeover - a much whiter team - I am hoping they have a good season - David Wright, Ike Davis, Lucas Duda, Collin Cowgill and Daniel Murphy are all part of this team.

A couple of younger guys - Anthony Rizzo of the Cubs should have a breakout year. He is a power hitting 1B. Pete Kozma of the Cardinals appears to have secured the SS job.

I will try to update this thread once a week. Looking forward to having some ongoing dialogue in this thread with whole CF baseball fans.

The Los Detroilet Tigres lost two of three to the Minnesota Twins to open the season. I like watching the Twins. The reload every couple of years with some good young White players. I don't think there is a more anti-White team in baseball then los tigres. They now play the Yanquies who are probably going to get Whiter with all of their bro's and hombres injured.

The reason the Tigers are so dark is owner Mike Illitch. Illitch made his fortune selling pizza to the DWF crowd and then he bought the Red Wings back when they were pretty awful. His formula for success with the Wings was to import talent from Europe, the Wings were one of the first teams to do it and the head start they got helped them build a mini dynasty that is now fading because, of course, every other NHL team got on the bandwagon.

Illitch's first love however is baseball, he played for the Tigers in their minor leagues in the 40's. He is nearly 90 and near the end and desperately wants to win a championship before he checks out to the big pizzeria in the sky. I'm guessing he figures the best way to do that is to outspend the Yankees for the most hyped up hispanic and black talent in the game. That was the Yankee formula for a long time. So far he's been successful, like the Yankees he needs lots of White pitchers but at all other positions it's black or brown. He's enabled in that by GM Dave Dombrowski who never met a White position player he liked.

I expect the Tigers to do well this year they have collected some good talent. But it won't break my heart if they fall, however the Central Division is pretty weak so even a down year will likely see them make the playoffs. The sooner Illitch stops running the team the sooner they will end the habit of buying the best non-whites in the game.

Red Sox 3B Will Middlebrooks is a young player who may become a star in his first full MLB season. He played as a rookie in the second half of 2012 and hit .288 with 15 HR and 54 RBIs. He has 3 homeruns and a double today against Toronto.

35 Tigres came to bat today vs. Los Jankees and all 35 were non-white:

http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=330407106

This should not come as a huge surprise, but I don't remember it happening before. Usually they let one cracker (i.e Andy Dirks) play left field or pinch hit. I'm sure all the Synagogues in the Detroit area must've been bursting with pride today, as the modern-day Lonsmen got to see what it felt like in Pittsburgh in the early 70's, when the Pirates reportedly used to field all non-white teams quite frequently.

Jankees actually had quite a few whites come to bat today (majority?), which has been rare in recent years. Of course, I'm including Travis Hafner as "white", even though I've often wondered if he is white?


P.S: Lonsman Bud Selig's Brewers fielded an overwhelmingly non-white squad today, also. Only young Logan Schafer started.

F'n amazing. The one sport after hockey that I want to follow and the local team is almost completely non-white. What a bunch of BS. When your team is darker then the Jankees it's time to find another sport.

I'll add SP Shelby Miller to the list - one of the top rated prospects and now starting for the Cardinals. I believe he won his last start. And Trevor Rosenthal is an exciting rookie who was a starter in the minors but no in the Cardinals bullpen who throws around 100 mph.

And finally, the Cardinals brought up rookie 1B Matt Adams, who hit over .300 all thorugh the minors with 35 HRs in AAA.

This looks like a very "white" season for the Cards

Well looks like the propaganda flick about Jackie Robinson has stirred up the annual not enough blacks in baseball conversation:

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-b...diversity-task-force-goes-162655356--mlb.html

What a crock of sh!t. It sickens me to read the comments all stating how blacks are superior athletes but choose other sports. Totally discounting white athletes from the conversation. Anyways this is what I posted:

Why is it just assumed that blacks are better athletes? Their are plenty of very good white athletes out there as well that put up just as good numbers as blacks in all sports. Whites are not given opportunities in most sports because it is ASSUMED that they are not athletic - this is racism pure and simple. Lots of white people drink the kool-aid that they are somehow inferior athletically when they are equal. Lots of self-loathing amongst white people. The MLB is a joke for creating "task force". If anything the players getting screwed over the most are the 85+% white college baseball players. The MLB overlooks them and invests in third world players when they are still 16,17 years old due to it being cheaper.

Good rebuttal, Leonardfan, and it seems like the vast majority of the commenters are fed up with the CM bs being pushed by the article. It's probably only a matter of time before the anti-White totalitarians ban comments on "mainstream" sites like Yahoo. . .

Perhaps Don Wassall, or someone else who knows baseball history better than me, can answer this question: Hasn't Jackie Robinson been portrayed as a very "docile" black man in most stories, media reports and movies?

Wasn't he selected to be the first black major league player because he was educated, well-spoken and would not cause trouble, even if he was provoked by "white racists"? Heck, thanks to his connections with the Republican's in the 1960's, I thought many blacks viewed him as a bit of an Uncle Tom after he left baseball?

Now, all of a sudden, our Kosher friends in Hollyweird seem to be portraying him as some sort of militant-black panther-type?

Talk about revisionist history!...Looking at the promos, it seems like it's a movie about Albert Belle or Jim Rice, not Jackie Robinson?

I've noticed that many of the commentators have begun to question the CM angle being pushed on baseball. Today I was watching SVP and Russillio (the only show on ESPN where the two hosts seem to at least hint at some of the hypocrisy in sports). Anyways Schilling was sitting in for Van Pelt (who I am not a fan of but tolerate) and they had Buster Olney on. They were talking about the lack of blacks in baseball and how the MLB was really misguided and beating a dead horse - I wish they would of ended there because unfortunately they began to say that the best athletes are in Basketball and football.

They made the argument that in American society you don't see the kids out on the baseball field playing like they did 20-30 years ago. I found this annoying and total BS since the college ranks are full of very talented white baseball players. Baseball like all sports has become very rigid and organized with traveling leagues, American legion ball etc. IMO the CMs don't want to acknowledge the large amount of white talent in America so they make up excuses since Baseball has yet to be manipulated by Black Rivals, BSPN and Scout to the ridiculous extent that Basketball and Football have been.

Buster Olney went on to say that the MLB now scouts Latin America because those kids just play baseball and they are easier and cheaper to sign. Essentially he was justifying the outsourcing of America's national pastime. Curt Schilling chimed in and said that Baseball should see an uptick in "athletes" in the next few years due to all the concussion issues surrounding football and hockey (I give him credit for mentioning hockey). This disappointed me because Schilling always seemed to be a straight shooter type and was always on majority white baseball teams.

Yes, up to now Robinson had always been portrayed as someone who turned the other cheek while putting up with racial slurs, etc. Several years ago someone posted about how Robinson's debut as the first black baseball player was barely noticed by the press of the time, and his rookie season was a very minor story at best. Now of course it becomes more absurdly monumental with each passing year; within a decade it wouldn't be surprising if Robinson joins Martin Luther King as the only Americans with national holidays named after them.

When I first began to follow sports around 1958, Jackie Robinson was well known, but race was not as central to every story back then, believe it or not.

I may have posted this anecdote years ago, but I'll repeat it. In 1961, Sport Magazine did a story in which Early Wynn (for the AL) and Warren Spahn (for the NL) listed their "10 Toughest Hitters."

Spahn did not give Jackie Robinson as one of his 10 toughest. In the 1980's, Spahn was interviewed by Baseball Digest Magazine and said Jackie Robinson was about the toughest hitter he faced.

What this means is that Robinson's reputation was higher some 30 years after he retired than it was five years after he left baseball.

Nice point. From every movie trailer I’ve seen, Robison is being portrayed as some quick-witted, sarcastic hot-head who always seems to “get the best” of the white bigots in the media, fanbase, Dodgers upper management, and on the baseball diamond. Check out the freeze frame below, obtained from the movie trailer for “42,” in which Robinson is seen smashing a baseball bat in a fit of rage (presumably as a result of racial taunting)…

CAPTION: Blackie Robinson "Reinvented"

Movie trailer…
[video=youtube;I9RHqdZDCF0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9RHqdZDCF0[/video]

Sure, Robinson was a generally good-natured black man who was treated poorly by whites at times…but was his alleged maltreatment any more “unjust,” “intolerant,” or racially-motivated than the Ebonics-laden taunting on the field of play (not to mention the media's anti-white commentary) administered to the likes of Peyton Hillis, Wes Welker, Toby Gerhart, Jordy Nelson, Tim Tebow, or any of the thousands of white athletes who “rise above” their racial caste in professional and collegiate athletics?

During my time in elementary school in the mid-1990’s, my class was forced to read an absurdly anti-white novel entitled: “In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson.” The story chronicled a young Chinese girl who had just emigrated from China to Jew York Sh-tty. The girl has trouble adjusting to her new life in the Anglosphere, and struggles to “fit in” with her abusive and cruel white classmates. Aside from white bullies at school, there are no important white characters in the novel. She soon discovers Brooklyn Dodgers baseball, and Jackie Robinson becomes her living idol (she later meets him in person).

Of course, a “parallel of white racism” between her struggle as an Asian and Robinson’s as the first black player in MLB is carefully engineered…causing that all-too-familiar, Marxism-induced sensation of guilt to well up and bleed through the adolescence flesh of impressionable white readers.

Clearly Mr. Robinson was selected by Branch Rickey for his good nature, anything else would have been a disaster. In that era White people expected a certain behaviour from ALL people and especially from blacks who they knew from experience what misbehaviour they were capable of. That is all forgotten now though. Any portrayal of Robinson has to be as the "new" type of black man, self reflective, race conscious, angry, confrontional with all of the inferior White people he has to deal with.

Interesting that this movie is being made in an era when blacks are generally portrayed as the superior humans. Amongst most of the movie crowd, ie young cultural marixt indoctrinated drones, how is this going to resonate with them? There is no real action, little anti-White violence, no explosions or gratuitous sex scenes. The black guy isn't going to kill off the honkeys that say the 'n' word. He isn't going to sleep with a bunch of White women to prove how much he hates the White man, or get back at the White race by breeding with them (?!).

How did this movie even get made? The White guilt 'well' is getting pretty empty as the demographics change, especially those who could conceiveably be guilted out by the events of the movie. In fact my prediction is that the majority of people who go to the movie will be older White people.

I know the media marxists think they can rinse and repeat every one of their cherished guilt tripping mechanisms and get knee jerk reaction from whitey, but let me say, as a parent that has had a couple of kids forced to visit the "holocaust museum", the clock is running out on that routine.

For example the events in this movie happened about 64 years ago. When I was a kid in the 1960's the anti-Irish sentiment, very popular in the country 60 years prior, had completely disappeared and was forgotten--I had no concept of it at all as a boy, especially in the wake of an Irish president and many famous Irish actors and athletes that had come along in the intervening 3 generations. Sound like any group today?

I know we are supposed to expect that black resentment and White guilt are to be eternal. But wouldn't one of the things that would occur to the young mind is that if Jackie Robinson (et al) was so wonderful and if all of the legal and social impediments have been removed, then why Detroit? Newark? Birmingham?

News to the brainwashers, maybe you should lighten up.

One thing worth keeping an eye on this season is how far down the all time HRs per AB list that ******* Ryan Howard falls. It's only a matter of time as he ages. He's almost fallen below Thome already this season.

In my opinion that makes Thome the #2 greatest HR hitter of all time behind Ruth. (I don't count cheaters Bonds or McGwire)

The fact that Thome doesn't even come up in conversation as a sure thing first ballot HOFer and never got any real media attention during his playing years is an absolute abomination from this disgusting negro-worshipping society. Despite his .402 OBP, the first thing the uneducated morons will say is "he struck out too much".

Yet Howard is a strikeout machine (he struck out 199 times in 2 separate years). Thome's largest K total was 185. Yet you won't hear anyone in the media putting down Howard for his strike out totals. Only Thome because he is white and doesn't fit the negro-worshipping narrative.

Knightedsoldier - I totally agree on Thome. One of the greatly unheralded players of the steroid era. He was a pure power hitter, no one even hinted at him being part of the large number of players in the 90s and 00s that were cheating. Yet he gets no respect. He is better then McGwire, Sosa and the most obvious roid-head Bonds.

It goes to show that in this upside down cultural marxist cespool that is this country doing things the right way is never rewarded or acknowledged.

Anyways, I believe Thome is still active and not officially retired so we have to wait on his HOF ballot. Much like the NFL will hear from me after this draft, I will write to the MLB HOF comittee if Thome is not a first ballot HOFer.

Knightedsolider, just curious - are you more of a baseball fan? Would be nice to get a dialogue going about the season. I enjoy reading all your posts.

Thanks Leanord Fan - yes I'm am primarily a baseball fan. I used to be a huge Chicago Bears fan, but when 90% of the players are ****** I decided I'd had enough of football. As a kid I used to memorize baseball card statistics and I've always loved the game. Living in between Chicago and St. Louis, I have followed both teams (Cubs and Cards) and know them inside out as well as most anyone. Admittedly, I haven't followed the W. Sox nearly as much.

I agree, the baseball forum could use more action - I look forward to your posts and discussions!

KS,

I used to be a huge baseball fan as a kid as well. I would say my interest in football is waning as the black quarterback push is in full throttle making the NFL look even more like the NBA. I have been getting back into the sport the past few seasons. Their does seem to be a slight uptick in white players. I wish the MLB would stop looking in latin america for players and start plugging back into the american college ball players.

The Jackie Robinson BS and lack of blacks in baseball does get on my nerves and the fact that moron Selig created a commission to investigate as to why their are so few blacks in baseball shows what a joke that cult-marxists tribesmen is.

Anyways - the first few weeks of the season have been interesting. I am hoping Adam Dunn picks up his slack soon. Would like to see him have another 40+ HR season.

I have made this same point several times on the site. Why is home run percentage not considered when talking about power hitters? No one considers Pete Rose better then Ty Cobb yet Rose has more hits. But of course Cobb has the higher average. For the same reason why is Aaron considered better then Ruth when Ruth's HR percentage was so much higher? I remember also expanding on the list you posted above and something like out of the top 12 all time HR percentages (minimum 500 HR's) 10 are White players.

Howard will fall way back over the years but it's still guys like Ott, Killebrew, Williams, Schmidt, Kiner, Thome, Foxx. I also exclude the steroid guys: McGuire, Bonds, Sosa, Rodriguez, et al.

Watched the end of the Tigres getting swept by the Angels. The local TV and radio guys were raving about Peter Bourjos speed. They were going on and on about how he might be the fastest guy in the Major Leagues and that they would like to see a race between him and Mike Trout. How cool is that? Announcers debating which White guy is the fastest player in MLB. They also mentioned the speed of the Angels OF along with Josh Hamilton. Basically 3 centerfielders.

I wasn't sure of Bourjos heritage as the name sounds vaguely hispanic, and also that he is a legacy kid, his dad played a little in the bigs also. I figured it was one of those typical White outreach programs whereas the White race awards a hispanic ball player breeding rights to a local White women during his minor league travel (joke). However his dad Chris appears to be a regular White American born in Illinois in 1955. And certainly passes the eyeball test via his baseball cards.

Anyway it got me to thinking that the caste systems pernicious effects are being noted by clueless Whites and that they are consciously or unconsciously steering the best White athletes towards a career in baseball and giving up the fruitless pursuit of a career in professional football or basketball. I mean seriously how realistic is it for a father to tell his White son he is going to be a star running back in the NFL or even a star anything in the NBA. That is basically an impossibility at this point. Becoming a big time ball player however is still very much a White thang and possibly even expanding as it seems like there are more and more great White young players every year.

I think it is also a smart strategy for the Anaheim Angels to feature good White players as that is got to be their fan base. Not that professional sports has recently given a sh*t about White fans but perhaps they realize that $80 box seats are not going to be purchased by mexican-amerikans until that purchase can be put on an EBT card.

I figured that all three, Trout, Bourjos, and Hamilton, would have come out of Southern Cal which sends so many to kids to the MLB but in fact Hamilton is a southerner, Bourjos is from Illinois / Arizona, and Trout is from, of all places, New Jersey. About 7 players on the roster are from California with Trumbo actually born in Anaheim. That's probably about average for MLB teams excepting of course the Los Detroilet Tigres.
