Tony Gwynn was asked during yesterday's news conference what should be done about the declining number of African-American children playing baseball.
"I love basketball and football, too," he said, "but I tell kids to play all those sports and play baseball, too. There is a lot of opportunity there. Look at the guys who were sitting behind us up there today.
"In this day and age, kids want things fast. The game doesn't move fast enough for them."
