Actually, if - for five years or so running - all the Cy Young  
winners, batting champs and home run kings were Cubans, Venezuelans  
and Japanese, etc., I don't find that so far-fetched.  In such a  
scenario, discussions over how the U.S. has lost dominance over its  
national pastime would already have become rampant anyway.  I don't  
see it as provocative to discuss what 99% of the population is  
already talking about openly.
