Hi all,

I'm a bit confused about how importing Historical databases work. I have downloaded Lahman's database and installed into my game. All real players seem to be in there, but I see a lot of talk on the boards about people creating real major league roster sets??? How are these different than what is already in Lahman's database...real roster sets seem to be created there already, right?

I also noticed that when you import the Lahman database and start at say year 2005, no league history exists...like the World Series Champs, or Award winners from previous seasons.

So, my questions really are:

What's the difference between using this database and the 'real' rosters that are currently being created?

Should there be league history for years before the year you are currently starting in?

Thanks in advance for the help!
