The commissioner of baseball got caught stealing his legacy
Josh Gibson is considered one of the greatest home run hitters and most feared sluggers of any era. Dubbed by many “the Black Babe Ruth”, he left an undeniable legacy as the all-time MLB leader in career batting average, slugging percentage, and OPS (on-base plus slugging). The only reason he’s not a household name is because Major League Baseball excluded players in the early part of the 20th century, which led to the creation of the Negro Leagues.
