Negro League 100 year anniversary
-
Congrats!....We need SDS to release some Negro League players to celebrate.
Side note...what players in the game now actually played in the league?
-
Jackie, Lary Doby (was in game last year), Satchel Paige (in previous years), Monte Irving (last year), Willie Mays all played in the Negro Leagues at some point.
However, since most of the FS cards have never played in the MLB yet, there is not much argument against players that never played in the MLB to get cards in this game. Such as Oscar Charleston, Josh Gibson, Pop Lloyd, Buck Leonard, etc.

Licensing. MILB and SDS have an agreement for the fake FS guys. Negro League licensing is a whole nother ballgame literally. Not something that can be achieved in a 2-3 month period.

Satchal Paige is represented by the same licensing group as Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Cy Young, Walter Johnson... pretty much the same ballgame for other retired ballplayers not part of the MLBPA anymore. They just need to make the effort, but yes, will take time as all the Legends do. I am fully aware with how licensing works, FS argument was more for the attributes discussion.
