June 17, 20215 yr Thank you! I was reading the second sub-linked article offering statistical evidence that the Negro Leagues were at least equal to the National and American leagues of their time, and most likely better. As part of that analysis, the author points out how Black players dominated the majors after integration, despite racist quotas. One doesn't need to do much more than look at those numbers to see why Black young players, especially pitchers, remain rare.
