To the surprise of precisely no one, the racists are out in full force to refute the inclusion of #NegroLeagues statistics in the #MLB cannon.
Not shocking to see them doing it, but it's still disappointing, you know? You're right, racists, Babe Ruth did hit 714 HRs. And Ty Cobb did have a career BA of .366. Those are both amazing numbers.
But they never had to hit off a healthy, in-his-prime Satchel Paige, you know?
(Additionally, I'm thilled to see the Negro Leagues exhibit at the HoF next week. Not looking forward to having to explain the importance and necessity of it to my son, but needs must, you know?)
Update: Fans in Detroit are being advised to take cover, but the teams are still playing through the lightning. Just asking for trouble. #MLB#baseball@baseball

I played softball in a game where the umpire would not stop the game due to dangerous lightening until we refused to come out of the dugout and play 😂
I’m not sure why the #Mets wear their “pavement” City Connect jerseys during a day game. Don’t they know pavement gets hot in the sun? #MLB#baseball@baseball
@davemark I saw him pitch during the NCAA tournament last year. Just completely insane stuff. I haven’t seen a slider like that in a minute and on top of 100mph heat.
