Negro League Database
Great stuff.
***
Of players who entered MLB since Willie Mays (1951), here are the top 10 nonpitchers:
WAR Player
171 Bonds <-- Post-racial
155 Mays <-- Post-racial
142 Aaron <-- Post-racial
120 Mantle
113 Rickey <-- Post-racial
108 Schmidt
107 Fr Robinson <-- Post-racial
104 Morgan <-- Post-racial
99 ARod <-- Post-racial
98 E Matthews
Seems clear to me that non-white players are heavily disproportionate at the top-end, with only 3 white guys in the top 10. Seems equally clear to me that among the top 3 white guys pre-Jackie (Ruth, Cobb, Wagner), we should see a fair number of Black players.
Great job to all concerned in putting out this database.
