it did not happen when they were talking about it in late 1800's because of Cap Anson......what i find funny is the black players had no problems playing with the white guys,but many of the white guys had problems playing with darkies......i wonder why?....So, all of the players of the negro leagues would have been put-on major-league teams when baseball opened up. That did not happen. I loved the sport as a kid. It was numero uno. The strikes, the free agency rent a player and the steroid era were the death knell. They fill up the parks of course. To me it is like NHL Hockey plus with ratings compared to what it was. To what was something that seemed to be purity even though it was not. Now we remember the players or players from a time of success locally and not much more except the sport's purists. If purist is the right word. All I know is I was gypped as an aging man to talk about great players.
yea dead ball was a whole different thing....Cobb spent most of his time in the deadball era. Very hard to say if he was a better hitter than ruth or williams or bonds.
BTW - cobb, williams, and bonds never won a World Series.
We all know why.Then why change it?
because of their bigotry we will never know....I have no problem with any discussion over which MLB player is the best hitter of all time.
But no non-MLB player was.
starting in 1871 each decade was different all the way up till now...each decade had their "greats"....I will gladly discuss any MLB player you want as the best.
I am a big Musial fan, who held a number of NL records until Hank passed him up with his consistency and longevity.starting in 1871 each decade was different all the way up till now...each decade had their "greats"....
Well of course this is a silly thing to argue about. But then all sports arguments are silly,Whats the issue? Everyone involved has been dead for a very long time.
Indeed. It's all about anti-white racism.We all know why.
Gibson now replacing the racist Ty Cobbs record is priceless.Major League Baseball's record books are set to be rewritten as the sport formally incorporates statistics from the racially segregated Negro Leagues of 1920-1948 into its official history, reports said on Tuesday.
Fame catcher Josh Gibson will now have their names etched into baseball's official pantheon alongside the likes of iconic figures such as Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron.
At a stroke, Gibson will become baseball's all-time leader in batting average, his career average of .372 eclipsing Ty Cobb's record of .366 -- a hitherto untouchable record which has stood since Cobb's retirement in 1928.

Baseball rules get changed all the time. Until 1901 foul balls were not counted as strikes. They weren't anything.a little tidbit....from 1871 until about 1884 the ball was pitched underhand....and yet those guys who played then get counted too...
yea stan was great.....dominate player of the 40's early 50's.....i grew up with late 50's and 60's players.....I am a big Musial fan, who held a number of NL records until Hank passed him up with his consistency and longevity.
the BB Register has EVERY BODIES minor league stats.....So all minor league stats must be included, too.
Maybe black players belonged in the MLBYou have to be a real racist shit stain to oppose this
