Have any appeared for the NA, NL, AA, UA & PL? How about the AL too (or instead of the NA)? |

There werent many good players in the UA so chances are most of them werent even around long enough to appear in 5 leagues.It would either be from 75-90 or 84-01 and thats a pretty long career especially back then. |

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. |

Its not really a secret Gilbert as to why alot of UA players didnt play in the PL,most of them werent legit major leaguers and wouldnt have made the majors if there were only 2 leagues and the UA didnt exist for a season.A good number of UA players were at the end of their career and just hanging on for one last season. |

If one of the thrusts of the UA was a challenge to the reserve clause, I wonder why Monte Ward did not join them. |

According to my first pass inspection, no one has played MLB in five different leagues; and only one has played in four - with the AL being his last. |

You inspected too quick then Gilbert.Like i mentioned above in that list of players,both Joe Quinn and Frank Foreman played in 4 leagues and both of them finished their careers in the AL.Quinn in 1901 and Foreman in 1902 |

Yes, you are correct about Quinn and Foreman. It is true that I was scanning rapidly and probably missed (at least) one of these. But it is also true that my objective was to identify if any player participated in five leagues. |
