A sports journalist criticizes the timing of Major League Baseball's decision to incorporate Negro League statistics into its official records, calling it "disgusting timing."
MLB The Show 23, the popular video game franchise, has broken a barrier by including some of the greatest Negro League players, including Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige, as playable characters in its 2023 edition. The game features a storyline mode involving eight Negro League legends, with short videos about the players and gameplay focused on the epic moments of their careers. The inclusion of the Negro League players is a multi-year partnership between the game's developers and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, aimed at creating relevancy and keeping the legacy alive for the Negro Leagues.
