    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

    You mean the same Charles Johnson who has more career strikeouts than hits?

    I can get on board with Roy C. Although his career was cut short due to that accident he was on a pretty decent trajectory for a catcher.

    Tell me, is everything you hear automatically a conspiracy if you don’t agree with it?

    I see why you seem so angry.

    I’m on board with the aforementioned Campanella and Johnson. Btw, Johnson was one of the best catchers of his era not named Pudge or Piazza.

    But what I’d really like to see is Josh Gibson. This would have been a perfect year for it with the Jackie cover and Negro League stats being considered MLB stats.

    The issue itself is that baseball has been losing the interest of black youths for years with the old school BS of if you celebrate in any way you're an a hole and other stupid [censored] like the Yankees archaic no facial hair/tattoos and other stuff rules. The MLB itself needs to try harder to bring more black players into the league.

    Wonder if Roseborro was in the game if they would do a moment with Marichal ? Change the course of history.......

    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

    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.
