But those players such as Gibson and Satchel, could not physically play in the MLB due to their skin color. It wasn’t a choice, they were banned from it. I’m sure they would’ve loved to play if they were given a chance, like Satchel pitching in the bigs in his mid 40s.
As stated by numerous other posters here, the MLB was not full of the best talent because some of the best talent was in the Negro leagues
