An updated version of the MLB historical database is set to be made public during a Negro Leagues tribute game on June 20 between the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants.
Move aside, Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth, because there's a new slugger topping the Major League Baseball record books. The league announced Tuesday that after three years of historical research, it has finally incorporated the stats of more 2,300 Negro Leagues players.
Gibson never got the opportunity to play in the Major Leagues, but he was a force to be reckoned with in the Negro Leagues. He played for three teams over the course of his 17-year career, was a 12-time All-Star, and is widely regarded as one of the best catchers and most fearsome sluggers in all of baseball history.
