The Ballplayers
A Baseball Player Encyclopedia (Willigrod to Wood)

Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a comprehensive list of EVERY Major League player whose last name falls between the names above. Included on the chart are links to the players biography, the years he played, an Auto(graphed) baseball card notation (Y=Yes) and a (HOF) Hall of Fame mark (Y=Yes). Bold entries stand for active players which are defined as those who played in at least one Major League game during the most recently completed season.

"Acknowledging that there may have been one or two whose talents were greater (than Honus Wagner), there is no one who has ever played the game that I would be more anxious to have on a baseball team." - Historian / Author Bill James in The Biographical Encyclopedia (2000)

W is for Wagner,
The bowlegged beauty;
Short was closed to all traffic
With Honus on duty.
