Pelican,You seem to validate each of my points by the end of each paragraph you write. You say they have accurate and thorough stats and in the same sentence say you cant speak to the incomplete Willie Mays Home Run game, just one of the hundreds of incomplete games and box scores that will be added. "Early" seasons is what's lacking? Willie Mays is to early? They do not have accurate and complete boxscores. Not good enough to be official MLB stats compared to MLB statistics from the same era. Seamheads has done fantastic work. A variety of sources. Do you know who the sources are? I have read about some of the sources. Boxscores in home ledgers. Good enough maybe to confirm a previous source? Possibly. To use as MLB official statistics? Negative.
Again, you validate my point. Barnstorming, semi pro, PCL teams, MLB tour players, Cuban teams. Amazing talent for sure. Random games with no league structure and dedicated layed out schedule. Gmaes were played and canceled on a whim.
Never once did i say the talent was lacking or the level of competition wasn't there. I'm sure the best Black players were just as good and better than the white superstars of their time. Just like every decade after integration. Its pretty obvious.
You guys can do all the mental gymnastics needed to tell yourselves this makes sense. In the end, it does not.
