1875 and 1876-77[edit]

Probably the 1875-1877 team should be listed together here ("rostered" all at once) and the player pages should be categorized together rather than split in two (categories).

If so then seven men who played only in 1875 would be added to this roster: Jack Chapman, Frank Fleet, Pud Galvin, Bill Hague, Tom Miller (catcher), George Seward (baseball), and Charlie Waitt. Six of them have pages now in the STLB(NA) category.

Three of the six teams that span 1875/76 (Chicago, Hartford, New York) are already represented by one player category and three are represented by two overlapping categories (Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis). I haven't checked other alltime rosters (lists). --P64 (talk) 17:24, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update.

ALL-TIME ROSTERS (lists): The Hartford, New York, and Philadelphia clubs are represented by one "all-time roster" list that covers 1874/1871/1871 to 1876. The latter two clubs predate 1871 but their roster lists do not cover that prehistory. Boston/Milwaukee/Atlanta is represented by one roster covering 1871-2009 and Chicago by one roster covering 1874-2009.

So this roster list should cover all three seasons 1875-1877.

Dave Beatle[edit]

who is Dave Beatle? At baseball-reference the only hit for beatle is Dave Beadle 1887 who played one game for Detroit ten years after the demise of the St. Louis Browns Stockings. There is no hit for beetle. Nor is there any be*tle listed in BE at Retrosheet. --P64 (talk) 13:15, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
