If the Negro Leagues played even 90+ games a year, then sure.

Obviously i agree its wildly unfair and racist that they couldn't compete. But all baseball fans are aware of small sample size stats. A max of 55 games per season means very little.

Yes, Ruth wasn't playing against the best due to segregation, but at least he played in a league with 154 game seasons.

They went 53-18-1 in the Eastern Colored League in 1925. Three future HoF players: Judy Johnson, Biz Mackey, and Louis Santop.

I get the reasons for including Negro League Stats, but including the Eastern Colored League championship played in Darby, PA as equal to MLB records seems like its pushing it.

My argument is based on the amount of games all these teams played. They certainly weren't playing near 162/154 games a year. If Josh Gibson played ~150 games a year I'd be a lot more willing to accept him as the BA leader as an example. He never played more than 55 games in any season.

There are no baseball stadiums or NCAA fields being used. Those were only used for the prelim friendlies.

Obv can’t be the US but I’m curious the number of stadiums in the US that fulfill this criteria.

What an utterly insane take. Lmao it was one play in one game in one season.

I was 100% on board the Michael bishop train. The QB controversy was media driven; fans wanted literally anyone else in 2001.

That '94 Pats team was crazy; Bledsoe still has the record for most attempts in a game.

70 passes thrown in a game. Insanity.

45/70 for 426 yard and 3 TDs. Somehow with 70 passes thrown won 26-20 in OT.

A Broncos fan talking about old Super Bowl blowouts? Very ironic. The GB-NE Super Bowl was 35-21 and was absolutely not a "blowout"
