Harrisburg Giants all-time roster explained

The following is the list of players on the Harrisburg Giants all-time roster. These are Harrisburg Giants players who appeared in at least one game for the Giants from 1906 to 1927.

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.
