First, thanks to both of you for all the work on these databases. They're really great. However, I did come a piece of corrupt data. I was setting up a historical league starting in 1961 using the new Gambo-Spritze DB (without transactions), and the game was telling me that one of the players was named Allegheny County" Bob (with the quote mark included. I took a look at the master.csv file, and the player should be Bob Purkey. Somehow the phrase 'Allegheny County"' wound up in the first name field, and 'Bob' is in the last name field. I don't know if any of the other data for Purkey is off. A lot of the numbers don't seem to match the Lahman version of the file, but I attributed that to neutralizing the stats.

I checked some other versions of both the Gambo-Spritze and the Spritze databases for OotP12, and they all contain bad data. It's no big deal to fix once I figured out who it was supposed to be, but I figured it was best to let you know.

Thanks again for the hard work.
