19th-Century Majors
Indianapolis Blues
Active 1878–1884 · 48 players
A defunct franchise with no continuous modern successor. Its players are attributed here to Indianapolis Blues 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

A season counts here only when Indianapolis Blues is the one club whose recorded span covers it — 7 contested seasons are credited to nobody rather than double-counted. 15 of 48 players on this roster carry a measurable VAL.
