Concerning the integration of the stats, Do I think Gibson would've batted a lifetime .373 in the majors had the color barrier never existed? No. I do think he would've been a prolific hitter, one of the best to do it, and have a very high batting average? Absolutely. I liked the idea that the MLB recognized the statistics, I don't love the fact that they changed all of the record books. I think any reasonable baseball fan, that has an appreciation for the history of the game, would consider Cobb the Batting Average Champion. The casual fan probably doesn't even care.
