That's not what you said the first time. And if measuring a player's greatness involves the players he played against or didn't play against, which is totally fair, then what does that say about the great players of the Negro League? They not only missed out on playing against the great players of MLB but they also played a lot of their games against teams made up of players who weren't good enough to play in the Negro League.
It’s complicated, no doubt. But no one is really putting any Negro League players on the same level and the best MLB ones (I don’t think. I’m definitely not).
I just think about someone like Satchel Paige. He pitched at a high level in MLB in his 40s. It’s a shame we will never know how he would have fared against MLB batters in his 20s
