I started a game in 1963, using Spritze's High School DB.. and it shows Phil Niekro as retired. In real life, he was in the minors up through 1962, didn't play at all in 1963 due to military service, then came back in 1964, when he debuted with the Braves.

His in-game stats show major league pitching numbers from 1960-62, which I assume is just part of the early entry into pro ball with the HS database. However, since he is shown as retired now, will he come back for the 1964 season or do I have to manually put him back on the Braves? And, if it doesn't fix itself automatically, is there a way to fix all the future players who missed a season in the middle of their careers for whatever reason (injury, military service, etc.)?

Thanks!
