I have a list from 2000-2014, missing everything before that.
not sure why its so difficult to find spring training material...I guess its simply just ignored as its not the official season.
reason being is I read a newspaper article that mentioned Andy Van Slyke being a NRI in 1997 for the Cardinals...also just curious

In the past, there didn't seem to be many publications which were sources of info on non-roster invitees. I've done a lot of work on spring roster players, and I've rarely come across yearbooks or other materials like that which mention non-roster invitees along with the roster players.
Things have improved in the current climate. The mlb.com website includes stats for the spring training games, so there are ways to find out all the players who have appeared in spring games for the major league clubs these days.
