Baseball in Belleville

Player Roster

Players who played for teams in Belleville, Illinois, during its tenure as an Illinois State League or Mississippi-Ohio Valley League city (both are Midwest League predecessors). This list includes all players and coaching staff members I can identify, and selected front office staff. There are almost certainly players missing from this list, as the available sources are known to be incomplete.

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

71 different players are listed on this page (6 of whom played in the majors), as are 8 non-playing personnel; some are listed more than once.

My intention is to include everyone who wore a Belleville uniform on an ISL or MOV 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:

• HOF means Elected to Baseball Hall of Fame.
• 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.)

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.
