Three years ago today, we unveiled a major upgrade to our website, reflecting Major League Baseball's decision to recognize the Negro Leagues as major leagues. Available Negro League numbers became integrated into players' records on Baseball Reference.

"Our intent is to have consistent treatment across the white major leagues and the Black major leagues," site founder and President Sean Forman explained.
