Despite the promises of major-league baseball owners in 1989 to improve on ethnic diversity in baseball much has been left to be desired. One area of importance that has remained relatively unchanged is the number of minorities in management positions with major-league baseball teams. The number of major-league baseball minority managers is significantly disproportionate. According to one source, in 1997 on the 28 major-league teams there were only 3 African American mangers and three third base coaches. The reason there is so few African American mangers is due to the fact that since the beginning of the 1995 season there has been 23 managerial changes and each and every one of them has went to a white former player.
