Build A Database
Jason:
You can build a complete database by going to baseball-reference.com.
Use Dick Conway as your starting point. On his player page you will see that the state of his birth is a blue link. Click on it and you'll get all the major league players born in Massachusetts. Below the list you will see a red link labeled "CSV." If you click on that, the list above will turn from HTML format into a list of comma separated values. You can copy the whole list, save it as a .TXT file and then import it into an Excel spreadsheet where you can sort out all the players who are outside the date range where they might have appeared on an Old Judge card. From there you can just compare your spreadsheet list to any complete list of Old Judge players to come up with your Old Judge Massachusetts universe.
Just be aware there are separate lists on baseball-reference.com for players, pitchers and managers. While there is often a lot of overlap, it is not 100%, so you need to look at all three lists to come up with a single complete one.
