Statistics of the Negro Leagues officially enter the Major League record (mlb.com)

I found it absurd that they're tracking another leagues stats as their own until I remembered that this is MLB, where AL teams didn't face NL teams until 1997.


Only the top two teams met in the WS - so the Negro Leagues (shorter season and all) operated parallel to the AL & NL leagues


The funniest part isn’t even all the racists being mad. It goes without saying that they can kick rocks.

I’m laughing because all the stats/trivia nerds have to re-memorize everything.
