19th-Century Majors
Providence Grays
Active 1878–1885 · 68 players · 4 Hall of Famers
A defunct franchise with no continuous modern successor. Its players are attributed here to Providence Grays 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 Providence Grays itself. A season counts here only when Providence Grays is the one club whose recorded span covers it — 21 contested seasons are credited to nobody rather than double-counted. 23 of 68 players on this roster carry a measurable VAL.
