I wonder if they just hired the most qualified people for the job?
Why would being a white male be an advantage? Lots of non-white baseball players.
And I'd think women would have great eyesight, too. No they hired the guys who couldn't make it as players; and couldn't give up the game. . African Americans don't play baseball as a #1 sport now as when back in the Negro Leagues times . Umpires are hired for MLB out of the minor leagues . So tge pay down there is probably not very good so you have to be a masochist to preservre .
