Testing out historical lineups and transactions with my 1991 replay, I ran across something a little strange. The Angels did not have the right lineup for that day!

April 20,1991

April 20, 1991 Minnesota Twins at California Angels Box Score and Play by Play | Baseball-Reference.com

Polonia, LF
Sojo, 2B
Joyner, 1B
Parrish, C
Parker, DH
Gaetti, 3B
Hill, SS
Gallagher, RF
Felix, CF

The historical_lineup.odb file seems to have the correct lineup as well:

polonlu01,7
sojolu01,4
joynewa01,3
parrila02,2
parkeda01,10
gaettga01,5
hilldo01,6
gallada01,9
felixju01,8

However, when I played the game out the lineup was:

Polonia, LF
Gallagher, CF
Joyner, 1B
Winfield, RF
Parrish, C
Gaetti, 3B
Parker, DH
Sojo, 2B
Schofield, SS

The Twins lineup was right for that day, but the Angels one was not. Weird.
