The Twelve Rosters

1943–1954

The players, season by season, as the registers give them. The lists below are compiled from the two standard statistical registers — StatsCrew's season roster pages and the Baseball-Reference Register, both built on the Chadwick Baseball Bureau's work — and they do not always count the same heads: for some seasons the roster pages carry names of players the playing record never credits with an appearance, the league having assigned more players than it used. For 1943–48 and 1954 the lists are the registers' own and are printed whole. Names are printed as the registers print them, which means a mix of maiden and married forms across the years — Mary Baker in 1943 is Bonnie Baker; Senaida Mylott in 1943 is the Senaida "Shu Shu" Wirth of the later lists; Margaret Stefani and Marge Stefani are one woman.
