Unfortunately, due to the somewhat scattershot record keeping of the Negro Leagues, truly accurate statistical reflections of the various players are essentially impossible to quantify.
The website www.Baseball-reference.com has some incomplete data for many Negro League stars, including Gibson, that are certainly interesting but unfortunately only a small cross-section of each player's full career. The numbers they have on Gibson cover about 1,987 Plate Appearances and produce the BA/OBP/SLG line of .350/.401/.624 which is obviously very impressive and seems to fit the man's awesome reputation
