The Major League Baseball Organization has decided to certify the individual performance of black players in the professional baseball league in the first half of the 20th century in the United States as the official record of the Major League Baseball.
As a result, the ranking of the total record will change significantly.
On the 16th, the Major League Baseball Organization decided to certify the individual results of about 3,400 players who played in the professional baseball league of black players from 1920 to 1948 as the official record of the major league.
As a result, the total record of the major leagues may change significantly, and four new black players will be added to the top 10 in the total batting average, so Ted, who is known as the last 40% batter, has a total of 30%, 4 minutes and 4 minutes.・ Williams and Babe Ruth, who has a total of 30%, 4 minutes and 2 minutes, are out of the top 10.
The league of black players is celebrating its 100th anniversary, and as protests against racial discrimination spread throughout the United States, it is acknowledged in both name and reality that the players at that time were at the top level for over 100 years. It became a form to be.
"This is a correction for many years of mistakes, and the Negro League has brought the best matches and innovations to the baseball world in an absurd society," said Rob Manfred, Major League Baseball Commissioner.
