First of all, are the Record Books & Career Leaders completely accurate? They appear to be but if not then that would be something to wrap up.

Secondly, the other Almanac information would really add to the realism of playing a MLB career in the sense of history. Past Champions would be the easiest to enter and the most important of them all but having the Past MVP, CY Young, ROTY and the Gold Glove award winners would be nice as well. These might be easier to incorporate using an already posted file that would include the information. Is it possible to add a Past Champions file to an already existing league or would the info need to be entered manually?

Thirdly, having an existing Hall of Fame would really be nice. Once again, for the sense of having a history upon starting a career. There are HOF files already out there so incorporating them if at all possible would be the easiest route to take.

Lastly, it would be nice if the origins were not so screwed up. I have made my position clear on this in the past so there shouldn’t be any need to rehash my reasons but it is worth noting that they should be fixed for the betterment of the roster set. The fix would only take a short period of time and should be rather easy in respect to all the hard work already put into the league. For clarification:

1. Origins should be in the City, State, Country format and not the opposite.

2. They should not be in all CAPs since nothing else in a player’s record is entered as such.

3. They should not be in excess of the maximum amount of letters allowed, thus creating boxes at the end instead of letters.

4. They do not need to be so specific. A country, as with the default origins, is better than a screwed up entry.

5. I am willing to make these changes if it will help.

Just my 2 cents. Good luck with it and I am really looking forward to seeing the end results.
