The Gambo version of my database is different than mine in more ways than a lot. I don't really know what they are other than he has removed many players and it has not been updated in a few years.

The "real" Spritze database updates regularly and begins most players baseball careers at age 18 or sooner if their real career began sooner. It includes many negro, cuban, japanese, korean and minor league players left out of OOTP's Lahman based database.

OOTP's built in database only begins a players career when a player has already reached the majors. The Spritze db begins when a player likely could have chosen to go to college, play minor league ball or what have you. It is a database meant to be used with a draft. This database is not yet completed but 1853-1910, 1941-1974 are fairly complete in the latest not yet released version and I add a few real players seasons every day. The years not done yet use a plethera of formulas to fill in the missing information until I get around to replacing the guesses with the real thing. It includes a players entire real minor league career and stats as well as negro, cuban, japanese and korean career and stats.
