First baseman Edgar Wesley's 213 OPS+ in 1925 was the best in Detroit history.
In recent posts, I have integrated Detroit Stars players into the all-time Detroit major league position lists:
This week, I am looking at first basemen. Before Negro League data was so conveniently available at Seamheads.com, I listed the top ten first basemen in Detroit Tigers history. The two Stars first basemen with enough playing to merit consideration for the all Detroit top ten list are Edgar Wesley and Ed Riles.
Edgar Wesley was a big left-handed slugger and strong defensive first baseman and was considered the best all around player at his position in the early years of the Negro National League.
