As most of us know, OOTP includes the Negro Leagues as part of its minor league module. This is line with how OOTP treats the Federal League. And - without getting into a debate on how OOTP should treat Negro Leagues - just because MLB has declared that they are to be given major league status, that probably shouldn't change.The reason I say that is because OOTP's minor league module already handles - near-flawlessly - massive league and franchise changes, relocations, foldings, startups, whatever... And so - assuming the data is available and that OOTP can get over the hurdles on accurately rating NeL players (my understanding is that this is underway and big strides have been made), there wouldn't otherwise be any obstacles to including other NeL's, such as the Eastern Colored League, Negro Southern League - and one-offs such as the 1929 American Negro League.
There were also many years - especially in the 30's - where there were a bunch of historically-significant independent Negro teams. These could - for OOTP purposes - be rolled into a "Negro Independent League" simply to get them into the game. Provided, of course, that the player data exists...

I'm confused. The quote you have has OOTP importing Negro Leagues until 1950, but when I play with minor league imports on the Negro Leagues last import is October of 1947. Am I missing something?
