You, Not You

What a coincidence. When it moved Wednesday to incorporate the records of Negro Leaguers into the MLB database, baseball chose the period 1920-48. Anything beyond, and baseball would have broken a glass ceiling, however retroactively. Infielders Toni Stone and Connie Morgan along with pitcher Mamie “Peanut” Johnson played in the Negro Leagues, post-1948, wouldn’t you know. I guess the good news is that none of their male teammates from that time will be having their stats counted, either. The national pastime, always a step behind, or two or three.
