Saw this team over the weekend on local TV and they appeared to start 9 whites with an almost all-white dugout.

Not a big baseball fan but surprised nobody has mentioned this team as one we can cheer for.

Basically, most of their non-whites (Crawford, Bartlett, Garza, Pena, ect.) left because they wanted more money in free agency and have mostly been busts so far for their new teams. Manny was finally exiled due to steriods....I guess the overrated, lazy Upton is still around, but he doesn't play all the time.Hopefully they will win the division, because I don't think Baltimore can and Boston is a bit old. Those are the most white-friendly teams in the AL East.

My new favorite baseball team is the Rays.

I miss the old MLB season highlights of each team CF used to do.

Saw them again today and the Rays started 9 whites and one black!

Definitely one for us to cheer for.

Hopefully they win the WS, then we'll have to listen to the CMs state there is a crisis in baseball for the lack of diversity.

When will these CMs state the same with basketball and football in terms of the lack of Whites?Don't answer, I know.
