The Negro League Stars That MLB Kept Out ? And Is Finally Recognizing.
FiveThirtyEight

Major League Baseball?s long-overdue decision to recognize the statistics of players from the Negro Leagues means that MLB?s record book is expanding.
A few high-water marks are likely to change hands: The best single-season batting average in history will belong to Josh Gibson, who hit .441 in 1943.
Hall of Famers like Gibson and Satchel Paige are likely well-known to modern fans, but other greats may not be as familiar ? and comparing them to current players and historical MLB figures is a little harder to do. Luckily, thanks to the indispensable Seamheads Negro Leagues database, we can put these players? accomplishments into context using wins above replacement (WAR).
