i wish i knew. i actually downloaded the database you referenced in another thread (not the one you emailed me, but the one already in CSV format) and it would not cooperate. i spent literally all day working on any potential issue, took care of a few minor errors (some ID inconsistencies) and i kept getting the 'historical import failed' error. i narrowed it down to the master.csv file, but i cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is. the weird thing is that if i use that db to import single players into an existing league, it works. just so you know im using an intel mac and b/c of import problems with the 5.3 version of lahman, i was using 5.1 version.
perhaps thats the problem? the db's ive had are 5.3 format? but that seems unlikely b/c 5.3's ive tried to import still work, albeit incorrectly (all players import as DH, some other ratings are wacky).

Allstar.csv, AwardsManagers.csv, AwardsPlayers.csv, AwardsShareManagers.csv, AwardsSharePlayers.csv, Batting.csv, BattingPost.csv, Fielding.csv, FieldingOF.csv, FieldingPost.csv, HallOfFame.csv, Managers.csv, ManagersHalf.csv, Master.csv, Pitching.csv, PitchingPost.csv, Salaries.csv, SeriesPost.csv, Teams.csv, TeamsFranchises.csv, TeamsHalf.csv

it can be really stripped down to batting.csv, pitching.csv, fielding.csv, master.csv, teams.csv, teamsfranchises.csv, if not less.

great. maybe you can figure out whats going on. i actually wanted to PM you to perhaps email you the db ive been working with to see if you had any insight on why its didnt want to import. but yeah, thats one of my big frustrations. fielding stats, even relatively recent ones are near impossible to find.

ill get back to you about the book later, as im not at home right now. actually, i have 2 good sources. aside from this encyclopedia, i have a thick annual (2004 i think) that has a wealth of information, including career stats for active players at that time. again, mostly japanese so im trying to get translation help. i should be able to find links on the japanese amazon for you. the encyclopedia was expensive, i think i ended up paying about $150 or so for it after the dollar/yen conversion.
