Negro league career stats won't amount to much because they only played about 40 to 50 league games a year. Most of their games were exhibitions against small local semi-pro teams on barnstorming tours.
For example Josh Gibson was considered the greatest player in the Negro league history. In 16 seasons he only played 510 official Negro League games. He also played 300+ games in the Cuba/Mexico/Dominican League winter seasons and hundreds more in exhibition games on cross country tours.
