About damn time!

At the same time, I do think they need to acknowledge in some way that the negro leagues played the same quality ball that the leagues recognized by MLB did, but due to racism and discrimination were not allowed to play in the 'white' league. Don't think it should be with the records and statistics, because then racists can say "Well it didn't count because they weren't part of the 'real' league then.
