The USL/MLS Overlap - 2009 Edition

Last year I put together a listing of the USL1 players that had appeared in MLS games. With the lower number of roster spots available in MLS this season, I expected there to be quite a few more MLS alums in USl1, but that's not the case - in fact there is one fewer.

This year's leaders -- the Carolina Railhawks and Puerto Rico Islanders with eight former MLS players apiece.
