I think alot of the negro league players wouldve struggled in the majors but not because of a lack of talent,because of the era and the way they wouldve been treated off and on the field. How many players couldve been as thick-skinned as Jackie Robinson when it came to the bigotry they wouldve encountered,especially in the 20s and 30s.Thats the main reason by far i never agreed with people saying"If Josh Gibson played in the majors he wouldve done this,and Satchell Paige wouldve done that".Im sure a few wouldve stood out but not for an extended period because of the harsh treatment
