What If Negro League Legends Had the Stats to Rewrite Baseball History?
Nothing better demonstrates this than 10 of the first 14 NL MVPs being awarded to former Negro League players after the integration of professional baseball in 1947 with Jackie Robinson’s debut. Since 2004, MLB celebrates Jackie Robinson Day on April 15, with all players and coaching staffs wearing his retired uniform number 42.
Many key baseball statistics, such as batting average, slugging percentage and ERA, have had their all-time career and single season leaderboards shaken up by the inclusion of Negro League statistics. Among other record changes, Josh Gibson is now the all-time leader in both single-season and career batting average; Mule Suttles, Norman “Turkey” Stearns and Oscar Charleston are in the top 10 in career slugging percentage; and Charlie “Chino” Smith’s OPS of 1.421 in 1929 is tied for third all time with Barry Bonds legendary 2004 season.
