Here's my point the best way I know to put it:

Add the top 20 black pitchers to the MLB and I don't think Ruth's numbers would be affected noticably.
This is also underestimating negro league players.

Like I said before, if blacks weren't as good as whites at baseball in Ruth's era, when do you propose they started getting good?
