Talk:Chicago Cubs all-time roster

Original list
Note to other editors: The original list was taken from the Cubs official website, and includes players who were on the 40 man roster but never appeared in a game. As we find them, they should be removed, as this list is for players who appeared in at least one game. Thanks! Kathy A. 15:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

1871
The 1871 team was close to winning the first league pennant when its home ballpark was lost to a fire ;-)

Three of the eleven players need only "1871" in their listings because they were present and in the same roles when the club returned to competition in 1874.
 * Mike Brannock
 * Fred Treacey
 * George Zettlein

Eight of them are not listed. Here are suggested listings as "Cubs". This suggested listing for Foley distinguishes him from Tom Foley (baseball). I have added him to the tomfoley disambiguation too.
 * Ed Duffy, SS, 1871
 * Tom Foley (outfielder), OF/C, 1871
 * Charlie Hodes, C, 1871
 * Marshall King, OF/C, 1871
 * Bub McAtee, 1B, 1871
 * Ed Pinkham, 3B/P, 1871
 * Joe Simmons, OF, 1871
 * Jimmy Wood, 2B, 1871

The links are now seven blue and four red. The blue are all in Category:Chicago White Stockings players. P64 (talk) 19:24, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
