This is an import from 19 to 20 with build 26. Another 10 year age difference. Kaiser Wilhelm. Shocked he retired in 1910 then came back and retired in 1921.

[QUOTE=Originally Posted by swampdragon View Post
Batter strikeouts from 1901-1913 have been part of the database since the time when encyclopedias would just leave the number blank because the records were not official. The database solved the problem by giving all the players approximately the same ratio of strikeouts to plate appearances. Since then research has been done and Baseball-Reference has strikeout totals in place that differ considerably from those in the OOTP database.
many other stats as well.

OOTP has not yet had anyone volunteer to download these and many other updated stats for inclusion. so yes they do exist but no OOTP does not have them (yet).

Spritze, Whenever you need extra/missing stats, just let me know as I have all the project files compiled for WCE to do this. Never done these as I thought the Lahman covered it already.;)

nonfortunately BBref does not keep any logs of what they update. no way to tell by looking. if you or the dragger of swamps have such info send it along and I will gladly update it in a pleasant way.

A few historical DB corrections

1) J.P. Howell has the wrong milb id attached to him
Whenever I've created a mid-2000s historical league over the last few years, it always happens that howeljp01 (J.P. Howell) is attached to the wrong milb ID. It has been attached to howell001jef, which is actually a non-MLB player named Jeff Howell. howeljp01 should be attached to howell002jam. Their stats also need to be straightened out.

2) Leo Nunez nunezle01 and Juan Carlos Oviedo nunez-001leo are the same person and need to have their IDs and stats combined. Juan-Carlos Oviedo was known as "Leo Nunez" until 2011.

this is not a database challenge so I would post this under general bug reports

Same player

Gus McGinnis, 2222 - Major League and 1265 - Minor League

U McGuire (2179) is Thomas Maguire
https://www.baseball-reference.com/p.../mcgui01.shtml

Arthur Irwin (451) have one line missing in his real life stats... he played one game in 1894. In fact he played in the American Association too in 1904, but there is no stats so I guess it was some special event or something and he didn't played.

Edit: Found the reason why in 1904, he was the manager of the team... which made me find an interesting article (which isn't something unknown for most people here I suppose)

Same player

Art Ball, 2258 - Major League and 1923 - Minor League

McGinnis, maguire and ball fixed

I'm not sure you can do something about this but it's kind of historical database related...

When I add the Player League everything is fine and the teams don't do any transactions by themselves, but with the Union Association the teams sign free agents (even if everything is set the same way I do for the PL)... Do you have any idea why this happen? Normally they are supposed to follow the transactions database, like the ML or the PL, which they do except for the FA signatures...

hopefully the tranny guys will see this.

I'll repost it in the main bug section so the chance that he'll see it are better... thanks.

Not the biggest deal ever but...

Stump Wiedman (467) is Stump Weidman, just a typo I guess...

plus there were 2 of him.

The name sure aren't the same by a long run but going by his stats line...

Bill Loughran (631) is Patrick O'Loughlin
https://www.baseball-reference.com/p.../lough01.shtml

not finding Patrick since he is a new name but have
Bill Loughran 1883 and Bill Loughlin 1884
Loughlin used to be unknown first name U
one born in NY and one in Baltimore

same fella?

He is loaded in the game as a rookie for the 1883 seasons, so it's Bill Loughran. The fact he is loaded with Baltimore give me the hint since I use the real teams in my simulation.

I have changed his name already in my game but it's that one

And as you said before as he just load for 1884...

U Loughlin (851) is Bill Loughran
