Has anyone ever attempted MLE's for Sol White?

The Integrated 9's project has MLE's for White from 1901-1905. They have him at 254/320/337, though to be fair, his best seasons appear to have come in the 19th century.

I hear say he is buried on Staten Island in an unmarked grave.
HOF gravehound Mike Frank led a minor visit to the site a few months ago.

I suspect that he was a great player and I wonder whether we will ever compile a good historical record of his play (not to mention those MLEs).

Somebody once did MLEs for some of the very early guys. IIRC it was a 5 percent discount off of the I9s projections. Most of us agreed at the time that the I9s were wildly optimistic and a 5 percent discount was not nearly enough.

Still based on what we knew, I never saw White as being much different than Frank Grant, nor Bill Monroe much different than either one. All 3 pretty interchangeable.

I would guess there was a lot of discussion of White that may have been lost in the server upgrade.

I don't mean "we" the HOM or the I9s or Gary A or the SABR Negro Leagues Committee but
"Man" as in H.G. Wells, The History of Man.

Phil Dixon, America's Baseball Chronicles, vol III, features the 1905 Philadelphia Giants with "accounts of nearly 158 games" and "dates, locations and scores from over 300 additional games that were played in 1905" by other teams.

Gravesites
Work is currently underway to get suitable headstone for Hall of Famers Ray Brown, Sol White and Frank Grant. The graves of Grant and White may present a problem where marking them is concerned due to the fact that both men were buried in paupers graves.
Donations are not needed at this time but may be called for in future issues.

. . . Of the 39 players that appear on both ballots, there are seven for whom we have no information regarding their burial sites. Now at first this may seem like a daunting task, but it is not as hard as it may first sound. We have information as to where all of these players died, only the name of the cemetery is missing.

I doubt that the later note above implies all these "missing cemeteries" have been located, with gravesite markers that have been judged appropriate. But I don't know anything more. Contact the SABR committee at http://sabr.org; select "Research".
