17 new Hall of Famers!
Posted By: barrysloate
There are more than a few baseball historians, as well as former players, who actually felt the Negro League players were in fact better than the major leaguers! When they played barnstorming games, the major league teams always sent mediocre players. The thinking was if the major leaguers won, that would prove their superiority; and if the black players won, well, there was a built-in excuse that they weren't beating the best players anyway. If the majors sent their best players and lost, that would be a devastating blow to segregated baseball.
