Negro league stats are being added as MLB stats. That's kind of wild

Overall, this is a good decision. I had never looked at their stats before. The one thing I learned was that was their season was only 50 to 60 games. With that point, I wonder if their per season averages, era, etc, should be considered for top positions. The grind of the 154 or 162 season wears on players.

Baseball-Reference uses a 2000 PA cut-off for the BA/OBP/OPS etc.. all-time leaders and Josh Gibson falls short just from the low amount of games.

I know some people are upset about including a 'lesser league', but MLB already includes lesser leagues in all-time stats.

Some of those late 1800s leagues are highly questionable and included. Take 1884. MLB counts the "Union Association" which lasted for ALL OF 1884. Four teams actually folded during the year. Replacements were added from 'lower minor league teams'

The best player was Fred Dunlap who hit .412. His best season after was a .272 BA in the National League. So a career "MLB" hitter with a .277 lifetime BA, hit .412 in the quality of that league for 1 season.

Yet that league is accepted as part of MLB's total stats. There's a whole slew of other similar type situations if you go through the late 1800s rabbit-hole lol.

He's down to like 330 pounds, from a high of 500. He's gone on a walk for like 225 consecutive days now and he's cut out the 18 sodas he used to drink per day. Looks a hell of a lot better. Still a crazy though
