I love @SlangsOnSports -- her life is is a jewel adorning baseball, statistics, and HUMANITY.

And.

She drives me nuts with this.

#NegroLeagues #statistics *are* #MLB stats. They are also, by definition, incomplete.

If she is certain this never happened in, say, the Negro Southern League, it would be great if she told us how she knows that.

If she is talking only about AL, NL, and Federal League, it would be great if she said that.

BUMS SAY "WHEEE!"

#SarahLangs may not be around in our universe to chronicle this, but the outcome was one she'd like.

WOW. What's your source on all the #NegroLeagues players younger than 22 years, 232 days old? I'm impressed, because you must have a much better source on birthdates than Seamheads.com, and I thought they had the very best data.

It sounds like you've made a major breakthrough here, so please do share the archive you've found.

When we say X has never happened before in baseball history, we need to be sure X never happened in the Black Leagues, and if we're not sure about that, we need to say so.
