I don't agree that is is necessarily racist to say that Negro Leaguers should be kept out of the Hall of Fame but I think it is ridiculous to compare them to minor leaguers. Minor leaguers were not major leaguers, for the most part, because they were not good enough for the majors. True, many years ago there were some very good minor leagues that held onto their star players but the best ones still usually ended up in the majors. Black players, on the other hand, were BARRED from the majors, so even the best ones never got a shot. Is there any reason to believe that the best of them were not Hall of Fame caliber players?

Thanks,
Howard
