Baseball stats had already incorporated multiple major leagues, some of which folded in the 1800s. Hell, the National League and American League are technically two separate leagues that used to have their own rules. Not to mention that the game has changed a lot in the nearly 150 years that the stats incorporate, from rule changes to different scheduling to better training regimens. With all that I think adding in the Negro Leagues stats isn't too problematic at all.
