MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL MLB

NEW YORK (AP) � Major League Baseball has reclassified the Negro Leagues as a major league and will count the statistics and records of its 3,400 players as part of its history.

The league said it was “correcting a longtime oversight in the game’s history� by elevating the Negro Leagues on the centennial of its founding.

The Negro Leagues consisted of seven leagues that existed from 1920-48.

Those leagues were excluded in 1969 when the Special Committee on Baseball Records identified six official “major leagues� dating to 1876.
