Hey, Ed, My brother and I want you to settle an argument about Jackie Robinson. Was Jackie able to bring his record over from the black American League to the white American League, or did his record start when he joined the white American League? If it was the latter, could someone tell me why?

Jackie fan for life

Jackie Robinson was a great man who endured more hate-filled crap than you ever could imagine. Any stats he accrued began when he was called up to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.— Ed. Note
