Agree it is not the negro leagues fault but when they did integrate over the next 15 years only 85 negro league players ever played in mlb. With approximately 400 total players in mlb per season. I don’t think there was ever more than 30 negro league players at a time.

Maybe teams weren’t signing many black players even after integration but one would imagine that if the leagues were equivalent there would be more than 30 out of 400.
