You know, honestly no one can make up better entertainment than you guys. There are I believe 44 single season batting records and 35 single season pitching records listed, Negro League players are listed at the top of of 3 or 4 each, yet somehow it's nearly all are owned by Negro Leaguers? What the? Did you even click past the first 1? My goodness, that's about as numbnuts a comment as it gets. Entertaining though!
