Control? Sheff's sounding a teensy bit foolish.
I think it's because many, many black kids (and their families) think that if they have a shot of getting a college scholarship or making it as a big-time athlete, it's in basketball or football. Think about it...some of the most famous black athletes are and have been basketball or football players. Families push their kids into basketball or football because they think it's going to be their ticket. Baseball...not so much.
Plus, black America used to be more rural, and there was more space/opportunities to play baseball. Now, as the population has become more urban, it's not as common. There aren't a ton of ball fields in the city.
