It’s a new era in baseball history as Josh Gibson now sits atop many MLB all-time leaderboards and numerous other great Negro Leaguers are now found in the top 10. Bob Kendrick discusses the significance of Major League Baseball’s decision to finally incorporate the Negro Leagues into the MLB record book and what it means for the players and the leagues to be officially recognized. Bob’s joined by historians John Thorn and Phil Dixon as they reveal how the committee uncovered the records, which players are finally getting long overdue recognition and what their findings mean for baseball history.
