Hey all,

Had a problem with corrupted data

so it took me longer thsn expected.

A couple things:

Thanks to muted70 for the logos he was fast and they were well done(Captain Walrus has also started a series I have seen)

Thanks to No Pepper for the uniforms, impressive to say the least.

Thanks to PadresaFan for his hosting...just awesome

Ok let me outline the roster a little:

This roster features the best players for each franchise represented and the other top Negro League players folded into these teams as needed.

My primary source books inlcuded but not limited to are:

The Negro Leagues Book (SABR)
The Biographical History of the Negro Leagues

Each team has at least 35 players or so.

90% or so of players have correect Ht/Wt and Handedness, the others were assigned R/R and avg Ht/Wt by position, this was only done where information was not available.

All pitchers initially set up as starters, as was normally the case

About 75% of each team is made up of players who played for the franchise, the rest are fillers from other Negro League teams. Most of the Negro League players moved from team to team even more so than the MLB. Even the stars of the league playing for 3,4,5 or more teams was common place.

Set all players age to 21 for use in ongoing expansion play

Players stats set up for use within the Negro League, so you would have to adjust them for MLB EQ if you are concerned about purist stats. As far as I know there is little basis for MLB EQ but I have seen some for about 100 or so players, but based on a small smaple it is mostly just conjecture. IMHO this statistical representation is comparable to what I did for the Cooperstown file, since these players represent the best players in the history of each Negro League teams history, and given the opportunity, these players would have been as good as their white counterparts.

Hope you learn a little about Negro Leagues Baseball from playing around with this file, just sparking interest in the history of this under appreciated group of fabulous ballplayers is great!

The Negro Leagues were heavily influence by the Cuban ballplayers, just thought you should know.

Be sure to check out all the nicknames, this was a cultural and interesting part of baseball across the color line.

Ok here is the file:
