John/z28jd - although I am only about two thirds finished with this assessment, it certainly appears that you are correct regarding the quality of many of the players in the Union Association. I was initially surprised that so few UA players joined the PL - and wondered why Ward got little support from the "oldtimers". However, the oldtimers who were still in baseball when the Players League was formed may be of far less population than some would have thought.

But from the response thus far to this thread, I conclude that there are not many interested in this subject.
