The problem with using Jackie Robinson as an example is that he got out of the army in WWII, played less then a season in the Negro Leagues, then was signed by Brooklyn to their farm team in Montreal for '46 before he was brought up in '47.
Now, a player like Satchel Paige, who'd been pitching in the Negro Leagues for 15-20 years already is another thing altogether.
