As Shohei Ohtani has renewed and expanded his rare role as a true two-way player for the Angels in 2021, the Babe Ruth comparisons have begun anew.
To attempt to both hit and pitch at an elite level is to be the Babe’s “spiritual successor,” as the New York Post recently put it. And so when Ohtani, who has often been referred to as the “Japanese Babe Ruth,” became the first pitcher to hit a home run from somewhere other than the No. 8 or 9 spot in the lineup earlier this month, there was a rush to the record books to confirm that Ruth was the last to do it. And on Monday, Ohtani became the first player since Ruth (on June 13, 1921) to make a start while simultaneously leading the Majors in homers. ....

Thousands of players will sport Robinson s iconic No. 42, which has been retired league-wide since 1997.

Late last year, Major League Baseball announced its intention to declare several Negro Leagues as official big leagues.
Last week, a committee of the Society for American Baseball Research recommended that 7 leagues be recognized: the Negro National League I (1920-31), Negro National League II (1933-48), Negro American League (1937-48), Eastern Colored League (1923-28), American Negro League (1929), East-West League (1932) and Negro Southern League (1932).
MLB also said it would incorporate team and player statistics from the Negro Leagues into the existing records, which include data from the American and National leagues, American Association (1882-91), Union Association (1884), Players League (1890) and Federal League (1914-15). ....
