The decision means that the approximately 3,400 players of the Negro Leagues during this time are officially part of the MLB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Negro Leagues\u2019 change was applauded by Negro Leagues Baseball Museum president Bob Kendrick, and states that \u201cfor historical merit, it is extraordinarily important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CI-82i9J0Wt\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
