They integrated the minor leagues
Raymond E. "Ray" Dandridge. "Hooks". "Squat". Third baseman in baseball's Negro leagues. 1987 inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. His career batting average in the Negro leagues was .355 while playing for four teams during 1933-1944. He was a 3-time All-Star. He also played in the Mexican League from 1940-1948.
Dandridge turned down a 1947 invitation from Bill Veeck to play in the Cleveland organization, which might have given him a chance to play in MLB. Viewed as one of the best fielding 3B in baseball history. He finished his career playing in the American Association (Triple-A minor league), where he was Rookie of the Year in 1949 and MVP in 1950. His last season as a player was 1955. https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1619374653

semi pro
A number of players hooked on with semi pro teams. I know Fort Wayne semi pro teams in the 50's usually added two or three negro league players for tournaments. Most notably were Jim LaMarque and Pat Scantlebury. Some were too old to get signed to MLB teams.

My limited understanding of the history is that quite a few got a short tryout in MLB and if they did not immediately rip the cover off the ball they were sent back down for good. Artie Wilson fits that bill. Last NLer to hit over .400, he got a short tryout with the Giants in 1951 then back down for good.

In a broade sense I wonder if it is possible to apply some sabrmetrics to Negro, Minor and Foreign League players to determine their quality. As I understand it there is data lacking for very refined analysis. However, in a broade sense is it possible to get an indication of player xss who were overlooked. For example could one apply WAR to AAA leagues l like the PCL? When has enough data become available to do any meaningful analysis. This is just a thought. What does everyone think?
