Indianapolis Hoosiers

Active 1887–1889 · 42 players · 1 Hall of Famers

A defunct franchise with no continuous modern successor. Its players are attributed here to Indianapolis Hoosiers 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 Indianapolis Hoosiers itself. A season counts here only when Indianapolis Hoosiers is the one club whose recorded span covers it — 9 contested seasons are credited to nobody rather than double-counted. 17 of 42 players on this roster carry a measurable VAL.
