I wrote if you haven’t heard of Josh Gibson.

You changed it to:

“ So, if you are not aware of stats from negro league baseball from 80 to 100 years ago.”

Very different.

I’d say the same about Satchel Paige.

I’m not talking about arcane stats from 100 years ago in Negro Leagues (or Major Leagues for that matter.)

Oh cut it out! I did not change anything that you wrote; I have quoted you exactly and completely.

“If you never heard of Josh Gibson you're not a baseball fan.”

“Great hitter in the Negro Leagues.”

If not statistics... by what standards are you judging him by? Please share your sources. All of a sudden, some arcane player who played in the negro leagues in the 30s and 40s is being recognized as the greatest baseball player in history. Few baseball fans knew about him back then... Unless you are part of the liberal hive mind who is currently rewriting everything about American history, you probably had little awareness about him until very recently.
