Tuesday Trivia: Negro League Sluggers
As you probably know, Baseball Reference recognizes Negro League of the highest 7 Leagues as being part of the MLB. While we will unfortunately never exactly know how Negro League players would have faired in the National or American League, we can at least now compare stats.
While we can't readily compare counting stats due to the limited number of Negro League baseball games that Baseball Reference recognizes as being part of the MLB, we can compare rate statistics somewhat.
Which 3 Negro League players are in the top 10 in career Slugging, OPS and OPS+?
Note that you need 3,000 Plate Appearance and 500 games to qualify, as per Baseball Reference.
