Bob Kendrick reacts to the news of Negro Leagues statistics officially entering the Major League record books, following three years of intensive work by the Negro Leagues Statistical Review Committee. With the accomplishments of more than 2,300 Negro Leagues ballplayers from 1920-1948 being recognized, Bob looks at the path taken to reach the historic announcement, and examines the triumphs of Negro Leagues legends such as Josh Gibson, who becomes the all-time leader in several MLB categories.
