19th-Century Majors
Troy Trojans
Active 1879–1882 · 44 players · 5 Hall of Famers
A defunct franchise with no continuous modern successor. Its players are attributed here to Troy Trojans 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 Troy Trojans itself. A season counts here only when Troy Trojans is the one club whose recorded span covers it — 3 contested seasons are credited to nobody rather than double-counted. 24 of 44 players on this roster carry a measurable VAL.
