I'd have it labeled and the game would go find it. Adding pics for every team could be quite tedious. Rather that than the FaceGen...but that's always a nice backup. Now I have to figure out ballparks.

OOTP will read every pic in the photos folder there's no limit. You need to use the Filter button to access the pics beyond 1,000. Just type in the last name, hit ok and it'll show all players with that name.
OOTP will auto load all your pics, but only if they are all in the photos folder and named exactly as they are in game.
One error in Kammich's excellent post is that names need to be formatted like this:
firstname space middle initial underscore lastname space Jr. Sr. II III etc.
Example: Joe P._Smith Jr.
The game won't auto load real pics for any players that already have a pic in your saved game.
To get around that just go into your saved game's news\html\images
\person_pictures and profile_pictures folders and delete everything.
Restart ootp an it'll auto load all the new pics.
Also, you should click settings when ootp starts. When the popup opens, click the facegen tab and set the Picture Search option to Search for photo first to insure that ootp uses your real pics first and if it can't find one it'll use facegen.
Your ballpark pics must be loaded one by one for each team.
Select any team and click the team settings option. On that page click edit ballpark. On that page click Pictures & Coordinates tab. On that page on the left you'll see Daytime picture. Click select file and navigate to your ballparks folder and select the day time pic. Then do the same for the night pic. Do this for each team and when done, Click the Available Actions drodown on the top right and click export all ballparks. By exporting the data, you won't have to ever manually load your ballpark pics again. Just use the auto-import all ballparks option and ootp will auto load all your ballpark pics if you should start a new game.
Hope this helps
