No blacks, so he wasn't any good? Really?
Look at how blacks dominate athletic events where running, jumping, speed, agility, etc. are required.
How would he have stacked up if he competed against blacks back then?

I don't think it's racist, I think it's stupid.

Baseball and basketball are two different cases with regard to race. Blacks make up more than 70% of the NBA, but they have never made up a majority of MLB and their peak was 27% in 1975. Also, since 1947 when Jackie Robinson played his first MLB game, Whites have continued to win the lion's share of the MVP and Cy Young awards.
