Baseball in Dayton

Player Roster

Players who played for teams in Dayton, Ohio, during its tenure as a Midwest League city. This list includes all players and coaching staff members I can identify, and selected front office staff. There may be players missing from this list, as the available sources are not entirely reliable.

Players who played in Dayton for more than one season are listed for each season.

375 different players are listed on this page (52 of whom have played in the majors), as are 32 non-playing personnel; many are listed more than once.

My intention is to include everyone who wore a Dayton uniform on an MWL diamond. While the information here is intended to be both complete and accurate, it's likely that there are omissions and the scale of the project guarantees errors; there's a lot of data here, from a variety of sources, all of which was originally in another format.

Key to Notes:

• MLB means Appeared in Major Leagues.
• DNP means On the roster at some point, but there's no record that he played.
• PSAS means Selected to Post Season All-Star Team.
• ASG means Selected to Mid-Season All-Star Game. (ASG† means he was game MVP. ASG* means he appeared in the game as a member of the host team.)

Sources

This list was compiled from a number of sources, including those listed below. It was checked against both Pat Doyle's Professional Baseball Player Database and SABR's Minor League Statistics Database. Inevitably, there are errors; those are mine.

• Assorted Sporting News Baseball Guides and Registers.
• The 2007 and 2008 editions of The Emerald Guide to Baseball.
• Assorted Baseball America Almanacs and Directories.
• Assorted Baseball Blue Books and related publications.
• Yearbooks and scorecard inserts in my collection.
