From the 1945 Baseball Guide. If you need middle initials to help with research, let me know as some are listed. - --Mischa 16:48, 5 May 2006 (EDT)

As we work here, Gary Bedingfield is working from his home in Glasgow, Scotland on rebuilding his web site Baseball in Wartime which will have tons of information on the minor leaguers as does his book, which I have. As soon as I can get permission from Gary, some of these gentlemen will start appearing on the bullpen. --Ron 20:29, 5 May 2006 (EDT)

Up to 100 entries sadly. A few players still to go but hopefully no new ones will join the list ever. - --Mischa 20:34, 19 December 2010 (EST)
