Databases

Are there currently any lahman-type historical databases which include Negro-League players that didn't reach MLB (Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, Oscar Charleston, etc.) ?

I would like this as a true historical league, minus the segregation.

They've added 50 of the best players from the Negro Leagues. But of course, we don't have records of these guys' stats. So they've picked what they consider the most similar historic player from MLB, and used their stats. I suppose one could find fault with this, but I don't really know a better way of doing it. It actually works out pretty well, and I must say, it adds a lot having these guys in the mix.
