"Major League Baseball officially elevates Negro Leagues to 'Major League' status"
From the article:
"To culminate MLB's centennial celebration of the Negro Leagues, Major League Baseball "is correcting a longtime oversight in the game’s history" and is recognizing them as a "Major League." “All of us who love baseball have long known that the Negro Leagues produced many of our game’s best players, innovations and triumphs against a backdrop of injustice," said Commissioner Rob Manfred in a statement on Wednesday. "We are now grateful to count the players of the Negro Leagues where they belong: as Major Leaguers within the official historical record.” MLB will integrate statistics and records from seven professional Negro Leagues that operated from 1920-1948 and include approximately 3,400 players as part of its history." https://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...ry/3922455001/ |

There's another thread on the same topic. Same response posted here as the other thread.
Here's a great place to start: http://www.seamheads.com/NegroLgs/index.php Bryant Gumbel had a really cool segment on this recently. The guy that put this together did a lot of research.

Yes, this thread should be combined with the other one.

Yeah, I agree. I think the other poster and I created separate posts at the same time.
Tried to delete mine but no idea how to do so. |
