The batting file is large, so Excel won't be able to open all of it, but Access can.

I just checked the batting and pitching files and Charlie Mason does not appear. He does show up in the Master file, which is mistake. Some players with very short careers were purged from the DB to improve importing time. Mason's record should not have appeared. Without matching batting files, OOTP randomly assigns ratings, which is why he was a "star" for you.

It is difficult to test pre1901 in OOTP, so some players may have slipped through the cracks. Let us know if you find any other issues like this.
