So, dumb, glad I quit watching in the 90s with all the BS Homeruns.

All the BS extra inning crap of placing a man on 2nd base is also a joke

I mean, the MLB at the time was really just the Caucasian League and those stats count….

Truth is all stats pre integration have a massive asterisk

Different Leagues... Different times....you can't merge them 100 years after the fact.

But these are the times we live in.

Doesn’t NFL stats include AFL stats even though they were different leagues?

White or black we have no idea and never will know who the best of those times were

Black Americans played baseball as their number 1 sport back then. They seem to do pretty well in American pro sports leagues that they treat as their number 1 priority

They should have a

Negro league stats
MLB stats
Pro baseball stats

MLB is completely incapable of making good decisions.

I know you are trying to be funny but here is one huge difference

Clark and any other woman is allowed to play on the nba currently. If they were that good, they would.

You think women's college basketball is as closely competitive/similar to the NBA as the negro league and MLB were?

Could or did, they didn’t. The stats aren’t “MLB” stats. Same as her surpassing Pete

You don’t need to be obtuse

Baseball was pretty much the only sport in America at the time. Meaning heavily gravitated to by youth of all races as the main sport

It’s easy to see with what we know about the races now the negro league was possibly better, or at least as good as the white league, thus making white only records look hollow.

I would be fine with them having a separate category called Pro Baseball and including the two leagues and using that as the golf standard, while still having MLB only as a reference

The NFL and AFL merged and more consistent records and statistics were kept. The Negro Leagues had 6 or 7 incarnations and the stats and record keeping were sub par at best, not to mention there was no merger.

And speaking of merger, even though the NBA absorbed the ABA, they don’t count their stats.
