We geek out this week with Sports Reference, LLC founder and president Sean Forman ("The Negro Leagues are Major Leagues: Essays and Research for Overdue Recognition") for an inside look into the complex and detailed process of integrating the statistics of the recently elevated Negro Leagues into the official records of Major League Baseball.   Advocated for decades by countless baseball researchers and historians - and buoyed by MLB's long-overdue proclamation in December 2020 that seven of Black baseball's segregated professional leagues between 1920-1948 finally deserved "major league" status - the incorporation of Negro League player data into the sport's overall statistical record has been both swift and meticulous.   Forman talks us through how the company's vaunted Baseball Reference team partnered with Negro League stats specialist Seamheads.com to onboard and combine data from the Negro National League (I) (1920–1931); the Eastern Colored League (1923–1928); the American Negro League (1929); the East-West League (1932); the Negro Southern League (1932); the Negro National League (II) (1933–1948); and the Negro American League (1937–1948).   And how the process will remain iterative for some time to come.

Back in 2000 Sean Forman was a graduate student with a love for baseball.  He never imagined that he'd create a wide-ranging enterprise - Sports-reference.com that encompasses not only baseball but American football, basketball, hockey, soccer and college football and basketball.  The sites are so user-friendly and have become a go-to platform to get statistics for players, teams and leagues associated with all those sports.   Now they've created a subscription service Stathead.com that allows the data to be searched and parsed even more easily which is great since there is SO MUCH data. We talked with Sean on how it all began, how it's used today and how fans can use a few cool tips to get more out of Baseball-Reference.com! Please subscribe to our podcast and thanks for listening!

At an extremely opportune moment, we welcome Sports Reference creator, owner, and president Sean Forman on to discuss Baseball Reference's decision to recognize that the Negro Leagues were the equivalent of their American and National League contemporaries, and the steps they took to make that clear across the site.

Plus, we give away a bunch of stuff related to the 1965 World Series that wasn't.
