Major League Baseball Adds Negro League Stats to Database

What to know about Negro Leagues stats entering MLB record

This is my second of two posts on this story. Be sure to read the first to understand why the Brewers’ Blake Perkins is so important to this riddle


Although the change was made official on May 28th, Major League Baseball did not formally announce, the change until yesterday, May 29th.

Negros = 78 and 42

May 29th had Primary numerology of 78 and 42:(5) + (29) + (20) + (24) = 78 and (5) + (29) + 2+0+2+4 = 42

42 is a number that is virtually always stamped into major news stories about minorities, typically ones of darker skin.


The change was spearheaded by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred.

Rob Manfred was exactly 788 months old:

"Blake Alexander Perkins" = 788 (Latin)

Perkins’ home run came off the bat of Japanese pitching sensation Shōta Imanaga.

Imanaga was exactly 1604 weeks old when he got shelled:

"Negro league baseball" = 164 (Ordinal)


Josh Gibson

Imanaga, Chicago, and Josh Gibson all = 46

In the first paragraph of MLB.com’s article, we learn about Josh Gibson, who is being praised by many outlets. With this recent change, Gibson is now the all-time Major League leader in career Batting Average, and now a legendary standout in many categories:Major League Baseball’s embrace of the Negro Leagues is now recognized in the record book, resulting in new-look leaderboards fronted in several prominent places by Hall of Famer Josh Gibson and an overdue appreciation of many other Black stars.

"Josh Gibson" = 406 (Standard)

May 29th was 406 days (or 1 year, 40 days) after Blake’s first MLB game:

"Joshua Gibson" = 140 (Ordinal)
