NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball has received a high grade for racial diversity among its employees but a middling mark when it comes to hiring women.
Baseball received its fourth straight A for race hiring in the annual report by Richard Lapchick’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports at the University of Central Florida.
MLB’s grade for gender hiring fell to C+ from B- last year and a B in 2010. Baseball got an F among team vice presidents and a D among senior administration.
The study was released on Wednesday.
