NEW YORK Major League Baseball has reclassified the Negro Leagues as a major league and will count the statistics and records of its 3,400 players as part of its history.
The league said Wednesday it was “correcting a longtime oversight in the game s history” by elevating the Negro Leagues on the centennial of its founding. The Negro Leagues consisted of seven leagues, and MLB will include records from those circuits between 1920-48. The Negro Leagues began to dissolve one year after Jackie Robinson became MLB s first Black player with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.

All of us who love baseball have long known that the Negro Leagues produced many of our game s best players, innovations and triumphs against a backdrop of injustice, Commissioner Robert Manfred said in a statement Wednesday. We are now grateful to count the players of the Negro Leagues where they belong: as Major Leaguers within the official historical record.
