by 1959, there were no longer any truly functioning Negro Leagues around. In OOTP, the Negro Leagues end with Jackie Robinson entry.

To get them in the game in the 1950's era, you'd have to import them manually with the import player function... (be aware their numbers are skewed to be lower, as the game recognizes them only as AAA level - unless something's changed in the past year.)

all Negro League players are in the database (in the game the actual Negro League teams exist from 1919-1947). They can be imported manually into any era (directions are in the on-line manual) if you want to go through that route. (some - such as Cool Papa Bell and Rube Foster have had a history in earlier version of the game not importing with the player ID in the game. Sometimes you need to search Seamheads, BB reference for example to find a different ID and try them. i haven't tried to import any Negro league players into version 22. When I want them in my game (playing mostly fictional these day) as i simply manually add them and edit their numbers to be competitive.) Just a heads up.
