there is a trick to getting the correct photos - you have to create a URL that leads to the correct photo (as opposed to following the HTML link), but it can be a lot of work (which is why I wrote a program to make that process fast and easy).

there are about 1800 photos for 2005 up on MLBs site - it's just a matter of finding them. I do have a set ready to go, but I'm waiting until opening day for last-minute changes.

and yeah, I'll do one in a PureSim format as well.
