I would suggest 1947 or 1948 as the last year to track a NGL MMP. The Negro National League ended after 1948 and the Negro American League became essentially a minor league after that. In 1947 a full team's worth of talent was already pulled out of black baseball and into the MLB system with everyone who had the opportunity abandoning the Negro Leagues by the 1948 offseason.
Also Seamheads currently does not have NGL stats for 1948 and later.
(Jackie Robinson)

I definitely agree. By 1949, the former Negro Leaguers were flooding the Pacific Coast League, independent leagues and minor leagues, even as MLB allowed a mere trickle of players through the color barrier. The NAL of 1949 and later was a shell of its former self. I'll track a NGL MMP for '47 but I haven't yet decided on '48.
Bobby Avila was in the Mexican Leagues. Not sure if that counts for this subgrouping.
If not, move Doby up to 2 and Bus Clarkson slides into 3.
Also, for Chris Fluit, I believe I may have mentioned it somewhere else, but I don't know if you ever saw it, but going through the MMP archives, you have Nap Lajoie listed as the AL MMPosition Player for 1902. However, Ed Delahanty finished 36 pts ahead of him that year and Big Ed played for the Senators that year. thanks again for your excellent work keeping the archives.
That doesn't matter. Josh Gibson won a NGL MMP with Veracruz.
I also appreciate that the voters have indicated where they would have included Jackie Robinson. I was on the fence about whether to include Jackie's season in Montreal. If he had won, I likely would have gone ahead and recognized him. As it is, he's safely third.
Good catch. Thank you. At least it's not as embarrassing as the time I credited Willie Mays as a New York Yankee.
Right, Chris. As long as it was a legitimate league and its strength can be ascertained accurately, it should count, IMO.
2. Doby--along with Irvin must've been one heck of a double play tandem. Both future HOFers
3. Day--beats Gibson for final spot, no wonder the Eagles won
