Hobby Hotline Ep.304 Negro Lg Stats impact, NBA/NHL Finals+ 

Great episode guys! PSA is lucky to have you Chris. Go Celtics 🍀

With the addition of the Negro league stats being recognized does have me looking for a Cool Papa Bell card. Additionally I have been reading more into his career.

The players played the number of games the players could play. Do the strike seasons and covid season count? Cap Anson won a batting title with under 300 plate appearances. It's different, but the same, it's baseball. These guys played 180 games a year, but only the official league stats count. Gibson hit a ball out of the park and over the river in my hometown park, according to a newspaper article. Fence was 280 down the line, another 100 feet to get over the river, minimum 380 feet. 11 MVP titles won by former Negro League players, hitters and pitchers.

Great topic guys. I don't quite understand why MLB hasn't done a better job with awareness on many fronts. One example: Last year, I visited the former site of Ebbet's Field in Brooklyn. I was shocked that to find only one marker showing where Jackie Robinson's historic moment occurred. It is a simple home plate plaque embedded in a sidewalk outside of an apartment maintenance shop. People walk on it each day...several times a day. If you travel the byways of the US, you can find many pull offs spots where historical events occurred. So many of those pull over areas have large signs and a full description of the event. My question for MLB is simple. Is this the best you can do?

The Caitlin Clark card isn’t real. All the letters in the inscription are copied from Brady’s inscription
