Today, I’m sharing my 1954 Roy Campanella. was already an established when the signed him in 1948. He continued his stellar play, culminating in the Dodgers’ 1955 . Sadly, his career was cut short in 1958 when his car flipped on an icy road, breaking his neck and leaving him paralyzed. The is badly miscut, diminishing its value.

I admire 's work. But she says this about . And she shouldn't.

We *don't* have all major data back to 1901. So we *can't* be certain that Smokey Joe Wilson, or Satchel Paige, or Leon Day, or Hilton Smith never matched this. But she says we are.

The recognized Black Leagues *were* major leagues... but there is no statistical record that can confirm that what she's saying applies to all pitchers in those leagues.

So she needs a disclaimer.

Newt Allen played on the Kansas City Monarchs for 9 of their 13 Negro League championships plus another for the St Louis Stars. The 5x All-Star played 20 seasons in the Negro Leagues and just missed out on being elected to the HOF in 2006.

Sony Santa Monica didn’t have to do what they did with the Negro League mode in MLB The Show 23!

As someone who doesn’t care much about baseball, I will be playing that mode to completion because it is so full of knowledge and just wonderful stories about the sport’s best players!

There were 10 batting Triple Crown winners in the Negro Leagues. One was in 1926 when Mule Suttles of the St Louis Stars hit 32 HR, 130 RBI, w a .425 BA. No other Negro League Triple Crown had more HR or RBIs.

Over the course of his HOF career, he was a 5x All-Star, won 2 batting titles, and is considered one of the greatest power hitters of all-time.
