That is why my thought is put the outstanding players in the hall of fame and call it a day

37 Negro League Players who never played Major League Baseball, have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Is the Baseball Hall of Fame only open to MLB Players? For comparison, the Basketball Hall of Fame enshrines players/coaches/broadcasters etc. with professional or amateur backgrounds.

Yes, and now MLB can bolster their claim that they embrace "diversity" and "inclusion". Gee, isn't that "wonderful"? Far more important than skill, athleticism and performance.

The Hall of Fame is comprised of 346 elected members. Included are 273 former major league players, as well as 40 executives/pioneers, 23 managers and 10 umpires.

The LAW in the United States, was "separate but equal". It wasn't an "opinion". It wasn't individual choice. It wasn't "unfair" by the standards of the times. It was barely in dispute by either side of the fence.

It was simply the law of the land.

Attempting to re-write history, serves only to assuage those who feel guilty about their collective history and does nothing productive.

One side had zero ability to "dispute". I doubt that they could complain to the Wall St. Journal. "Simply the law of the land" --------I can't see that!
