Why do ESPN and FS1 ignore sports like baseball on debate shoes? From 8 a.m.-2 p.m., ESPN had ZERO discussions about the start of the MLB playoffs… The obvious answer is that the networks know the NFL and NBA rule the day. But the question still remains—why do ESPN and FS1 pay hundreds of millions to air NHL, college basketball, MLB, tennis, golf, etc, and not spend some time talking about those sports as well? The answer is pretty simple. Data shows viewers change the channel or stop watching at a higher rate when they talk about those sports.

From 1920-1948, a parallel league of Black baseball players racked up its own set of history making statistics. A century later, the achievements of these 2300 athletes will be integrated into the Major League Baseball (MLB) lasting ledger. Unsurprisingly, we’ve seen the predictable questioning of whether or not the Negro League is, in fact, a professional league on par with MLB talent. We’ve witnessed the fury of some who questioned whether it was fair that Josh Gibson take first position over Ty Cobb with the greatest batting average of all time. But perhaps most importantly, we are hearing from the descendents of Negro Leaguers and from historians who offered a fresh perspective on what this inclusion means. In its most recent piece, The Washington Post cites historian Larry Lester, who says that the decision to integrate the statistics is a part of “‘social reparations’ to amend for decades of ‘apartheid baseball.’” While I was, of course, aware of the segregation in baseball, it wasn’t until my reading this article, that I fully processed the extent of those words. In fact, I had no idea that the official category used to describe the achievements of Negro Leaguers, was — until almost all of them died — labeled as “other.” The concept of othering is nothing new to Black people in America. But to read about it in this capacity is something else. With the reductiveness of one word, they were not only denied their experiences, but also their existence. It’s as if the world was saying an entire community of Black ball players could be lumped into the monolith of “other”, or that the accomplishments of these men didn’t warrant the humanity inherent in crediting them by name. And for me, this word and Larry’s blunt but accurate description is a sobering reminder of the cautionary tales from my own parents and grandparents. The piece also cites the lobbying of Sean Gibson, Josh Gibson’s great grandson and founder of the Negro Leagues Family Alliance, who has worked tirelessly to secure the integration and to make sure his great grandfather’s name will be on the MLB’s MVP award. In Sean’s efforts, he is rejecting the monolith once hoisted upon the Negro Leaguers. Instead, he is boldly reimagining a future where these titans of baseball individually and collectively serve as symbols of renewed hope, and of the excellence that is only ignited when we even the playing field. I commend Major League Baseball for its long overdue, but welcome decision to integrate its database and at long last, include the records of the Negro League players who forever changed the game. And thank you to historians like Lester, for holding our organizations accountable, and to all the Negro League descendents ensuring their families’ stats — and stories — serve as the paradigm shift we endeavor to have in sports everywhere. #leveltheplayingfield #appropriateattribution #MLBMakeover
