Mississippi-Ohio Valley League 1952Player RosterPlayers who played for teams in the Mississippi-Ohio Valley League (a Midwest League predecessor) in 1952. This list includes all players I can identify, coaching staff members, umpires, and selected front office staff. There are certainly missing players, as the available sources are known to be incomplete. 194 different players are listed on this page (2 of whom played in the majors), as are 26 non-playing personel; some are listed more than once.
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. |
