I was hoping that someone would bring up the argument that the Negro Leagues should be considered "Major". I have no doubt that the level of play was equivalent to the white Major Leagues at the time, maybe even better. If the reason given that opposes this argument is simply that there weren't accurate records kept, then that is quite ridiculous (if a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it do the RBIs count as "official"). My personal belief is that in 50 years we will look back on the Negro Leagues as being "Major" and many more of the stars will have been recognized for their greatness.
