I'm happy about the Negro League stats being added to MLB. My only question is on season records where there's missing data or shortened seasons.

For example, how can they say someone hit .300 for a season with incomplete data or less games played? I know it depends on the league so some played 150 games while others played more or less. Some could have played a lot more and some a lot less.
I know they couldn't include games without a box score so they only have about 75% of the games/stats.
My only big question so far is season stats when all things were far from equal. I'm also getting a weird feeling where MLB is kind of trying to say things were equal between the leagues when they certainly were not.
Either way, I'm glad they're including them even if it's messing with the stats we've all known.

Yeah, I agree with this. I’m just glad no one did anything really crazy in 2020 to set a record under the typical 154/162 season - Will Hunting May 29, 04:58 1
- 2020 stats shouldn't count but they do and because they allowed them they're using that as the basis for allowing the Negro League stats. Gibson - Krusty May 29, 05:09
