Do Baseball Positions Correspond with a Player's Race?
Hildreth, David J.
Mathematics Teacher, v89 n4 p334-38 Apr 1996
Compares observed to expected counts of white, African American, and Hispanic major-league baseball players (n=650) in 1989. Uses chi-square values to determine that racial differences are highly significant for pitcher, catcher, shortstop, and outfielder. Includes appendix with 1993 player counts and seven suggested student activities. (SEW)
