Does anyone know if there is a list of all the players who were voted in/selected for the East-West All-Star games each year? For example, Parnell Woods was voted in to start for the West in 1943, but did not play because of an injury. Is there a list somewhere that mentions players like this? - ThreadSky

Genuinely don’t know what parameters they were looking for, but this is the kind of stuff I’m seeing.

Yeah, I think the papers should have all the info I’m looking for. I was just hoping someone had already done the year-by-year research already. I have a feeling this might be a winter project for me.

The lists have to be in the Courier or Defender, right?

I’m assuming they would be. I was hoping someone has checked the papers year by year, and then made a list. Perhaps I’ll have to do that. 🤔

Somewhere on the extensive corners of the internet, you gotta figure its out there already

Games played, plus players involved, here: https://www.retrosheet.org/NegroLeagues/EastWest.html. But for players named who may not have played, newspaper research is the answer.

I believe Larry Lester’s book on the E-W game has this.
Going by memory but worth a look.
