You should probably put an asterisk by Aaron's name then, too. When he broke in, only 5.6 percent of the big leagues were African American. Only 3.7 percent were Latino, and by his last year, only 11.5 percent. Today that number is over 25 percent. Asian players weren't a factor during Aaron's days, either. You should probably disqualify any player playing now, too. African Americans represent less than 10 percent of today's MLB, and have for a decade now. http://sabr.org/bioproj/topic/baseball-demographics-1947-2012
