MLB has decided to include all Negro League statistics in the official record, impacting over 2300 players from 1920 to 1948. This move will lead to changes on MLB leaderboards, with Josh Gibson becoming the single-season record holder in various categories. The decision aims to tell a more inclusive story of baseball's history by recognizing the contributions of Negro League players. Additional adjustments may be made as more information is uncovered by the Negro League Statistical review committee.
