Negro League Stats are a Reminder of Black History

On Tuesday, it was confirmed that Major League Baseball will be updating all of their official records to reflect the stats of Negro Leaguers, dating from 1920 to 1948. That includes over 2,300 players from an era that while largely celebrated and idolized around the game, did not hold any actual standing until MLB decided to recognize them in 2020. The fruits of that labor are now borne.
