I use Gambo's DB for my History of the White Sox league, which has players at Debut year and has less players then the Spritze DB. All my ML players go to their original teams all others are FA. I have had 2 Negro League players play on the White Sox in the 1910's. Pop Lloyd being the most well known.
I use Sprtize DB for my History Of Baseball league but I use a draft. So I have drafted Josh Gibson & Satchel Paige. Paige is a 3 time All Star as of 1935. Gibson suffered a CEI while at AAA Boise.

Sounds like from what I've read around the forums there are ridiculous amounts of ways to play this game...and sounds like from what I'm hearing in this thread I should be able to do what I am planning.....
So I assume the Negro League and *** players import at the time their Negro League or *** careers began? Sadduhara Oh debuted in 1959 for the Yomiuri Giants, for example. So would he import automatically in 1959 as a free agent?
And Satchel Paige began playing in the 1925/26 timeframe I think.
What about Jackie Robinson? Broke the color barrier in 1947, but played for the Monarchs in 1945, minor leagues in 1946...would he import in 1945 as a Negro League player (free agent)? I mean...that's 2 more years we could add on to his career...meaning he debuts at age 26 rather than age 28. So two pretty key years of his prime.
Jackie and Larry Doby would be interesting cases to import as Doby started playing in 1942 I think and then was away from the game (WWII) and came back to Negro Leagues in 1945 or 46 I think. Pretty sure Doby began playing when he was 16 or 17. I think he was still only about 23 when he debuted in the MLB.
Even importing Doby in 1945 (post WWII) would add a couple more years to his career as well.
