I agree completely. There is no better time than now to elect Pedro Cepeda to the HOF. He flat out refused any participation in the Negro Leagues because he felt so strongly that racial segregation was wrong. A lot of HOF voters like to discount the leagues he did play in, but there is good reason for there not to be Negro League stats for him.
