Man, I dunno. Everything MLB does is so coated in layers and layers of grime that I find it hard to swallow. On the one hand, the Negro Leagues being recognized as Major Leagues is great, long overdue. On the other hand, it is also ground cover for the bull they’re pulling on the minor-league level and deep cover for the bull that’s gonna go down next year when they renegotiate the CBA. But it’s still great.
Color me naturally suspicious, but use a white brush, because I’m seeing an attempt at Tom-Sawyering in the offing. It won’t be long before there never were Negro Leagues, segregated.
