I tuned that out. I know major leaguers would play games against negro league squads and go back and forth so obviously some could’ve been productive in the majors. I felt mlb has done enough considering the best negro league players are in the HOF. Not sure what they think they are doing with this. Also it always makes me curious why Moses Fleetwood Walker isn’t seen as the first black player.
But I agree, don’t mess up the record books. Satchel Paige probably would’ve had some records had he played in the MLB his whole career but he didn’t, and he is still recognized as an amazing pitcher.
I just looked on Baseball Reference, and at least it looks like they took the "Negro Leagues are Major Leagues" propaganda masthead off the home page and the individual player pages.
I'm not denigrating individual Negro League players nor do I know enough about them to comment intelligently.
But it really turned me off that like everything leftists and globohomo do, they rewrote history by smashing together Negro and MLB statistics together in a hamhanded fashion with no respect for statistical integrity just so that they could virtue signal for a season.
Yea. And the crazy thing is that the great negro league players got their due. Some later than others, but still they got recognition. That whole stars thing is beyond ridiculous
