[edit] Opinion

I like the list provided, but after checking The Baseball Encyclopedia, Revised 8th Edition, it became apparent to me that this important list of Negro League baseball players included more than those people who played in both the Negro Leagues and MLB. The original introduction indicated the list only included players who played in both leagues. I believe the edited introduction I entered now allows for the recognition of both types of players: those who played in the Negro Leagues and MLB and those who played only in the Negro Leagues. I think it's important for this list to include both types of players. As of August 2006, the list is only a very partial list. It would be nice to see the list grow.
