Cobb's record still stands for anyone who employs logic. The Negro Leagues will always be a separate entity from the Major Leagues for the very same reason. History can not be rewritten. What happened, happened.

Of course it can be rewritten. See Orwell, 1984.

We're living it, my friend.

No wonder Eric Blair lived such a short life. With so many accurate visions of the future dancing around in his brain, it must have been difficult. If I recall, he was a formidable chain smoker. Guessing the guy was just a bundle of nerves.

MLB combined the records for all major leagues, including the Negro leagues. That happened. Logically, you cannot make it unhappen.

I go by the actual truth of the matter, not some PC drivel. If anyone wishes for this fantasy to be their version of the truth, so be it. I refuse to play along.

It's reality. As you say, it happened. It is what it is. You can accept it or complain about it, but it's not going to change anything.

Didn’t want to start another thread so I piggybacked on this one.
Geddy Lee at The Negro Hall Of Fame.
He’s got a new baseball book called 72 Stories And if I understood correctly he apparently donated more than 400 baseballs to the Negro Hall of Fame.
