Ty Cobb is second now
Baseball Integrates Leaderboards
Major League Baseball officially updated its statistics leaderboard yesterday to include 2,300 qualifying men who played in the Negro Leagues between 1920 and 1948. The integration incorporates findings from a three-year research process initiated after MLB first recognized the Negro Leagues as major leagues in December 2020. The update reshapes long-standing leaderboards, with legendary power hitter and Hall of Fame catcher Josh Gibson now recognized as the all-time leader in career batting average with a .372 mark, passing prior leader, Ty Cobb. Lifetime numbers from MLB players reflecting their time in the Negro Leagues were also recognized, including those of Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, and Satchel Paige. See a rundown of leaderboard changes here. https://www.mlb.com/news/stats-leade...ro-leagues-mlb Tacit bans in the major leagues forced Black players to create their own leagues in the first half of the 20th century. Jackie Robinson broke the sport's racial barrier when he made his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947 |

People who say the Negro league was hitting against inferior pitching talent, are insane. What do you think was happening in the whites only MLB league? Long overdue.

Maybe the NL was harder and better athletic talent all the way around. We don't know. We can only speculate. And no matter what anybody does it doesn't change the fact that the discrimination and lack of inclusion was real.

Virtue signaling is embarrassing and you should be ashamed of yourself. You're like a guy with a microdick that has to drive around in a lifted truck with aggressive tires so that you can let everybody know that you've got a personality disorder. There's no "racial justice" at work here. All 20th century parties involved are dead as are their kids as are most of their grandkids. This is irreverent.

The American League and the National League are two different leagues.

I guess I'm missing what you're saying. The stats of players in only two of the three major baseball leagues in America have been recognized by MLB up until this week when they finally included the third. You can still call out so and so as the American league record holder or the National League record holder, etc. What is it you're taking issue with?

I think the records BEFORE they played against any black ppl shouldn't even count. White ppl aren't good at sports.
