Since integration in the 1947 MLB season, the MLB has changed ethnically, but as the graph clearly shows, the league has actually gotten more white over the past 20 years. Additionally, with the growth of the game within the Asian and Latino communities, the Black community has seen its share of MLB players shrink to levels not seen since the 1950s.
