as of now, the Negro Leagues aren't part of the databases, though Spritze database has some of those players. That can be found in the mods section. (here's a link to a page with the latestest version i know of ....)

You would have to use his instead of the stock database. i enter the players manually - from data i've gathered over the years, from various books and on-line sources (such as BB Reference & Seamheads)). That's the only way i know, right now, to get all the NL players you may want into the game.

HOWEVER ..... there is something in the works to make the Negro League players part of the game in the future (also from Spritze), but Markus said it wouldn't likely happen until OOTP 18. i wasn't certain if it was part of the minor leagues (i suspect it is, but ....) or a Quickstart game ....

Speaking of Quickstart games, if you wanted just Negro League players, txranger made one that i used in OOTP 16, and brought it over to 17, but only used it as a template for player info so far.
here's a link to that page if you're interested .... hopefully it's still there ....

hope some of this helps.
