It’s difficult to quantify how good Henry Kimbro was. He played in the Negro Leagues, and statistics weren’t kept in the same way they were in the White major leagues. Players didn’t play league games as often, because they would split off as part of a traveling team against semi-pro or local teams. Seasons were shorter, often 80 games or less. We simply don’t have a complete record.
