1) Please show sabermetric evidence for Charleston greatness.

What info have you gathered? What kind of info is it? How do you come up with a stat line from opinions?

You claim this:
I rate Oscar #1 not because Buck O'Neil says so, or because Jocko Conlan says so, or because anyone else says so. I rate Oscar #1 because based on the info I have been able to gather, Oscar had the most complete skill set of any player the game has ever seen. hear opinions, and based on those opinions I try to come up with a stat line, how the player would translate to the majors. That is how I rate Negro Leaguers. I see Charleston having everything Mays had, but better contact hitting skill.
I look forward to you "Case for Oscar Charleston"
