Long overdue

 

True, but unfortunately baseball more than any other sport is one where players are judged by statistics, and stats weren't kept as meticulously and preserved as they have been for the traditional major leagues for well over a century. I look forward to seeing and reading what they have. We know the names of the top of the top, but digging into the detailed history is something I look forward to and hope there's enough to make it representative.

I think it's good, though at this point it's a little self serving. Negro Leaguers had little doubt and plenty of evidence to believe they were playing at a level equal to or better than the majors.

About time. Good on you, MLB.
