As MLB Sets the Record Straight, Boxing Should Shine A Light On Its Overlooked
For roughly a century, until very recently, the Detroit Tigers centerfielder Ty Cobb stood as Major League Baseball’s unimpeachable career leader in batting average – at .366. Then, on May 29, baseball made a change and the “Georgia Peach” was … well, impeached. In one of the more heartening and unprecedented steps in sports, MLB officials announced that Negro League statistics – carefully and meticulously researched and recorded – would immediately be incorporated into league canon. The decision thrust Josh Gibson – the transcendent Pittsburgh Crawfords and Homestead Grays catcher and Negro Leagues pioneer of the 1930s and ‘40s – into the top spot among baseball’s all-time hitters (Gibson’s career average: .373), nudging Cobb to second and instantly erasing 100 years of history.
