Long, overdue good news: Negro League statistics will be integrated into MLB historical record!

Stats from the more than 2,300 players from seven iterations of the Negro Leagues from 1920-1948 will be included in the MLB’s database — including legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Josh Gibson, who will become the single-season record holder in batting average, slugging percentage, and OPS. Previous record holders for those three categories were Barry Bonds, Ty Cobb, and Babe Ruth.
