Richard Gunderson: While I don’t doubt the claims, much, much more could have done to support the claims of Oscar Charleston’s greatness by listing considerably more statistics
You left me wanting much more info.
As has been said many times the statistical records on the Negro Leagues are woefully incomplete and do not include the barnstorming and exhibition games that far exceeded the number of games played each season in the Negro Leagues.
Unfortunately, we must rely on the word of mouth of both the players from those leagues and the MLB players of that era to assess the true greatness of these newly included players.
There are books, mostly by writers of the Black press, that can fill you with tales of the players exploits.
