Why is this biography rated "low priority"?[edit]

I see that this biography was recently rated "low" priority. Frank Grant was the greatest African American baseball player of the nineteenth century and has been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He excelled at the highest levels that were available to him and was a pioneer of the Negro leagues. His career, moving from white, organized baseball to Jim Crow segregation, is one that is discussed in all of the major histories of the Negro leagues. Surely his biography is too important to be rated as a "low" priority! It's outrageous to see the disrespect he endured during his career still continuing a century later.

After reading the article again and some consideration, I have decided to change the priority of this article to "Mid" instead of low. Captain panda 00:06, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
