MLB records set for major shakeup as Negro Leagues stats set to be officially recognized: report

Major League Baseball's record books will look a lot different later this week. The league is reportedly set to officially recognize statistics from the Negro Leagues and incorporate them into its own data. MLB elevated Negro League stats as "major league" in 2020, a move they said was "a longtime oversight in the game's history." Since then, MLB has been working with the Elias Sports Bureau in order to figure out a way to incorporate them into MLB's history. One player in particular, one you may have never heard of, will now be considered one of MLB's all-time greats.
