Baseball in Midland (Great Lakes)

Player Roster

Players who played for Midland (Great Lakes), Michigan, 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.

47 different players are listed on this page, as are 6 non-playing personnel.

This list does not include Midland (Great Lakes) players who are active in 2008, as that information is readily available elsewhere.

My intention is to include everyone who wore a Midland (Great Lakes) uniform on an MWL diamond. While the information here is intended to be both complete and accurate, 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.
