They cant if they don't own the rights ........
Serious question - is there a link on the Google Interweb of the rights MLB does have? Just curious...

@CodyWolfgang_XBL
All you do is come on these forums to try and bash on people and make people feel stupid so don't try to act like mr. Innocent, it's sad. Opinions are opinions, those don't matter as much to me. There are plenty of things you have said confidently that are just straight up wrong. I applaud the confidence but not much else. -
I am pretty sure that SDS would love to have the right's to Roy Campanella. He was a multiple MVP winner and they already have Jackie, Duke, and Pee Wee. I would love to use Campy in my lineup.

I'm not sure I usually see people post stuff from time to time on here

I can see this post getting taken down any second. But I am all in favor of more Negro League players being in the game. Satchel Paige vs Babe Ruth might be the only moment I have ever looked forward to.

Until then, quit trying to incite something.
You have a low bar for something to be considered incitement.
I wonder if the bar is equally as low in matters of sedition. I assume not.
I beg your pardon?

I think he is inferring that some people are triggered by the suggestion of black catchers but not by traitors storming the Capital on January 6th of this year.

Race baiting liberals realized that no one is on Twatter anymore, no one watches the news, no one is falling for the racial divide psyop anymore so they come to sports games forums to try to stir stuff up.
Also a race bait thread - 1st post ever by this weirdo - waiting on someone saying that the catcher has to be the smartest guy on the field and start that nonsensical back and forth with trolls.
Not happening scumbag.- SDS boot this clown and tell him to go back to Portland
Easy there SDS is going to give you a timeout .......lol
Or a ban.

They might lock the thread now since that has been brought up. The inference is incorrect—I'm not upset at all, I'm just concerned that it could start a toxic discussion, that's all.
I have no problem with black catchers in the game whatsoever (they're welcome if they add them). For me it's not the color of your skin that matters—it's how you play the game that matters.

Triggered much???? Was this your reaction when people posted about the hopes of adding negro league players?
Maybe it’s you who should get booted, clown
He should be flagged.

Can the devs find and put some of the historic black Catchers on the market? Like Roy Campanella and Charles Johnson? Please...
Great suggestion.

Okay cool. I thought I was translating as I am fluent.

Elston Howard won an MVP in 63 as a catcher. That would be a decent card to use. More opportunities for people to learn about past players is a good thing.

I didn’t mention the word “upset” and did not imply a thing. I explicitly stated that I doubt you universally apply the low bar for incitement that you’ve established, specifically to seditious acts.

I still don't see where the sedition part comes from.

What are those assumptions? Do tell, I'm genuinely curious.

The person who is the OP should not be berated for making this request. The is NO wrong with anyone taking pride within their own race & heritage and seeing it represented within this game, especially within the position they are least seen in. The OP is a buying customer to this game just lime all of you are & he has the right to make this request.
Now this is my official reply to the OP. Reason why there are not currently more catchers of the nationality you mentioned is because either #1) SDS has not made personal agreement with those players or their next of kin for SDS being able to use their name & likeness. #2) SDS has not even considered those players to be of those to seek out rights to.
If anyone hasn't noticed MLB recognizes the lack of black baseball players in MLB. They have been targeting inner cities by funding little league teams and have urged black MLB players to take a lead role in those communities. The original poster is asking why there aren't more black catchers in game while MLB is asking the same question in real life.

That is why the post is annoying. It is clear SDS has made an effort to recognize the influence of black players and represent them in the game. To nitpick that the catcher position is underrepresented is asinine.
