Does Baseball Hall of Fame have character requirements for eligibility?

I'm not sure I follow your logic about Black Americans not playing baseball anymore as a result of political awareness/activism on the part of sports writers. Please explain how this has led to the downfall of baseball, more than the fact that the sport is slow, low-scoring, and largely a pitcher's game (which, to non-baseball-heads, makes for pretty boring watching).

Also, there's nothing wrong with starting to do the right thing at any time, regardless of how your predecessors acted. If your professional antecedents were racist, don't be racist. Consistency is not as important as equity.
