Big update just posted. New seasons - 1959, 1960 and 1965, so now there's a complete run from 1947-'65.

All the other seasons in that run (1947-'58 and 1961-'64) have also been updated, some very heavily like 1958 and others very slightly. '58 was the first season I ever tried to do back around 2008 when online photo resources were thinner and I had less photo editing experience, so that one needed almost a total overhaul.

There are a couple of tweaks in the team logo folders, namely that appearing in the 1952-'57 packs is a new Dodgers logo that's kind of a hybrid of the logo as it appeared on the 1953 Topps cards and their actual 1952-'57 logo which has a height/width ratio that doesn't work that well in OOTP.

Also added a nicknames list to the career interruptions file. OOTP 11 removed them so here they are if anyone wants to add them back. I tried to make them timeline-accurate so Willie Stargell's nickname of "Pops" won't appear on lists until later in his career, Dick Stuart isn't "Dr. Strangeglove" until after the Kubrick movie comes out, and so on.
