Retrosheet


Negro League Baseball

Retrosheet is pleased to present game data for Negro League games as described below. To date, Retrosheet has compiled data on 5,255 Negro League games which were played in 279 different ballparks in states and two foreign countries (Mexico and Canada). We have compiled at least some statistics for 2,653 players who participated in one or more of these games. These games include not only regular-season Negro League games, but also all-star games, playoff games, and exhibition games between major-league caliber teams. This latter set includes several hundred games played between White and Black major-league baseball players (so those 2,653 players include players such as Dizzy Dean, Bob Feller, Lefty Grove, Babe Ruth, and Ted Williams, among others).

Negro League data, its limitations, and the process by which we compile and report it, are discussed here.

Negro League data may be downloaded here.

If you are interested in helping on this project, please contact Tom Thress (tthress--ATsign--retrosheet.org).

Thank you very much! We hope you enjoy the data here and we look forward to adding more data over time.
