Thanks, sflcat. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
I hadn't given much thought to how I'd handle the scenario of black and white players rooming together, etc. I did think at first about placing them, and even about pairing them for the reasons you mentioned. Since all the African-American players I've included are stars--Hall of Famers, or guys who should be--I decided to make all the Negro Leaguers into free agents and let the computer take over. That way I wouldn't be giving some teams automatic advantages by bestowing two all-time greats upon them.
Even so, I've noticed that some of the teams have been more aggressive in signing the Negro League prospects. The Cubs snapped up Charleston, and then added Paige. The Tigers signed Cool Papa and Turkey Stearnes right away. At the beginning of the season I shift the Red Sox to computer manager for a bit so they can take a shot at the Negro Leaguers, and they've signed two: Judy Johnson and Martin Dihigo.
