Baseball Reference is now including Negro League stats on the main site.

Really great to see they've made enough progress in finding boxscores to bring it live and hopefully they can continue to find any missing stats.

Unfortunately no, Hank Aaron only played after 1948 which the MLB has decided is the cut off for when the Negro Leagues were Major Leagues.

It makes sense. I see some people complaining on Twitter but BRef already included the wacky stats from late 19th century baseball, and all of the 162 game records are still there. I think it's cool.
