Baseball in Midland (Great Lakes)

Player Roster

Players who played for teams in Midland, Michigan, during its tenure as a Midwest League city. The list begins and ends with the 2007 season, which fully covers the Midland franchise history. This list includes all players I can identify. I plan to add the missing coaches, and other non-playing staff, at a later date.

48 different players are listed on this page.

This page will, in time, list everyone who wore a Great Lakes uniform in a Midwest League game. 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.

I will correct errors, or fill in missing birthdates and uniform numbers as I learn of them. Feel free to help; just drop me a line. Thanks.

There's more information about the MWL Roster project on my blog, A Dabbler's Journal.
