Last week, Torii Hunter got in some hot water because of comments he supposedly made about African-American and Latino players. Torii is a very well-respected guy in baseball, a forward-thinking guy, and he has been an advocate for diversity in the game. I believe his words misrepresented the way he really thinks. I feel for him for taking so much heat over this, but the whole misunderstanding got me thinking about what a diverse group baseball players really are.
