Homestead Grays all-time roster

The following is the list of players on the Homestead Grays all-time roster. These are Homestead Grays players who appeared in at least one game for the Grays, while they were based in either Homestead, Pennsylvania, or Washington, D.C., from 1912 to 1950.

On-going research continuously discovers unreported or misreported games (and the affected players), while some games and players may be lost forever. Therefore, some Negro league players' affiliations will likely remain incomplete and possibly disputed.

‡ Bold player inducted as a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
