You may recall that #MLB finally ruled, in 2020, that the stats of great Black Leagues players and teams --like Satchel Paige and the Kansas City Monarchs -- were in fact major-league stats.
Which means that the last man to hit over .400 in the big leagues was not Ted Williams in 1941 ... but Artie Wilson in 1948.
