# Cleveland Buckeyes all-time roster

The following is the list of players on the Cleveland Buckeyes all-time roster. These are Cleveland Buckeyes players who appeared in at least one game for the Buckeyes while they were based either in Cleveland from 1942 to 1948 and 1950, Cincinnati in 1942, or Louisville in 1949.
