MLB recognizes Negro Leagues legends by adding their stats to official records

Baseball prides itself on statistics and it’s how the sport recognizes its all-time greats. Those stats are now changing, in a big way. MLB officially incorporated statistics from the Negro Leagues into its record books. That means legendary hitter Josh Gibson is now atop several lists. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Gibson’s great-grandson, Sean Gibson. It's part of our coverage of Race Matters.
