Just curious: I know that equating Negro Leagues as AA or AAA level is controversial. Still though, if they are all AA or AAA level but playing against each other, why would that make a difference? I can see why it would make a significant difference if NeLg teams are playing MLB teams, but if playing each other, it shouldn't. At least how I'm understanding it.

Yes, hopefully this will be among several improvements to historical that are needed:

- Negro Leagues improvements
- minor leagues (adding missing leagues/seasons)
- major leagues pre-1901

From my research it has pretty high accuracy on rosters (more or less they are 20 with small reserve rosters but NeL rosters were closer to 12 to 14 in those days max) as well as dates or births, facegen pictures, popularity, personality, etc. If you'd like to check out how it was built and what went into that, check out my Twitch videos, the link is in another post I made the other day.
