Major League Baseball announced that “Major League” status has been officially conferred upon the Negro Leagues. As per the league’s press release….

“During this year’s centennial celebration of the founding of the Negro Leagues, MLB is proud to highlight the contributions of the pioneers who played in these seven distinct leagues from 1920-1948. With this action, MLB seeks to ensure that future generations will remember the approximately 3,400 players of the Negro Leagues during this time period as Major League-caliber ballplayers. Accordingly, the statistics and records of these players will become a part of Major League Baseball’s history.”

What you all see is an attempt at a nice jester but the reality is this gives MLB advantage now for a cash grab on all these players. Not that I’m not happy to see MLB finally recognize these ball players you have to wonder why they’re used to do it now and not years ago.
