19th-Century Majors
Cleveland Spiders
Active 1879–1899 · 226 players · 7 Hall of Famers
A defunct franchise with no continuous modern successor. Its players are attributed here to Cleveland Spiders itself — never folded into an unrelated modern club, which would fabricate a lineage that never existed. See the full index of lost clubs.
Mount Rushmore
The four largest measured careers at this club, by StatVault VAL attributed to Cleveland Spiders itself. A season counts here only when Cleveland Spiders is the one club whose recorded span covers it — 71 contested seasons are credited to nobody rather than double-counted. 73 of 226 players on this roster carry a measurable VAL.
