a complete list of all MLB players who have ever played in Japan?

Wikipedia has a list of Japanese guys in MLB but no MLB guys in Japan.

In 1946, a spirited Mexican millionaire (I think he was actually a gazillionaire) tried to hire MLB players to create a high quality Mexican Major League.It wasn’t very successful.The long (and quite) interesting story) is here:


The Great Mexican War of 1946



I thought it would be neat to try to duplicate this as if it had succeeded.You know, “what if” it worked?Basically, he recruited guys who were unhappy with their contracts and/or who were out of a job when the veterans came back from WWII.I thought we could duplicate this by choosing 4 players with salaries under $4 million (those unhappy with their contracts) and see how they do against 200K players (those without jobs) and the Mexican natives (the below average AAA guys). The playing conditions were pretty poor so we can duplicate that by only playing games in the old style ball parks (ones built pre WWI).The 4 “high priced players” must have played between 1946 (when the league started) and 1976 (when free agency started).



Here are the rules:

$40 million Cap (kinda)
No DH or WW
Injuries On
Yes to trading
30/20 Below Average AAA (with real names)
Each team will be allowed only 4 players with a salary over 200K (1 IF or C, 1 OF, 1 SP, 1RP)
Maximum salary4,000,000
Team Name must be foreign city, nickname (EX:Buenos Aires Banos)
Ballparks only fields built before 1914
Players with salaries over 200K must be between 1946-1976



This will be 16 or 12 team league.

Couple questions:

1. Any one know more about this? My google search came up pretty lame.

2. I am thinking about trying to duplicate that in a theme league. My thinking is a short draft of 4 players from one year ( 1 IF, 1 OF, 1SP, 1 RP) and then 60/20 Below Average AAA. Would you need to put a salary cap on the 4 "real" players to make it fair? I was thinking 20 million.

3. Any other thoughts?

List

From the list above I just checked the Americans, you might get another 50 from other countries that's in the system.

But also of the 405 eligible players you will have maybe 50 who just made being eligible by a few inning or at bats.

Yes, at least 405 should be in the wis database
