    the record books would look very different. there would be way more blacks in the HOF too.

    Baseball would have had a lot more exciting-ness and the record books would be different... but you have to acount for the fact that the Black Leauges had much less strict rules. I'd say Josh Gibson would have about 620 HR And Satchel Paige would have 300 wins

    It would be different, that's for sure. Josh Gibson "may" be the all-time HR leader today, and there definitely would be more blacks in the HOF today. I say "may" because you can't say how well he would have done if he had faced the same pitching that Babe Ruth did.

    Impossible to answer, but there would be more black players from the pre-1947 era in the Hall of Fame.
