Okay so started on the Latin list and the Cubans are nearly impossible for me to track through official records because neither Ancestry or FamilySearch have access to any Cuban records databases and can't find any online Cuban papers post-Revolution. I'll need to find a Cuban contact I figure...
BaseballObscura@justmckinney.bsky.social · 2d agoHere's the latest on my hunt for the 891 missing Negro League players. Yesterday, was able to finish working on the list of 752 American players.
