i've created a very crude (and typo filled) data base from a variety of sources (books i own, on line sites etc) and the aprrox. year the players started in Negro leagues. So i wouldn't be adding all at once, but thanks for the heads up.

i actually did tinker with the import thing this morning, got it to work for one player (finally!!), but going through my list and the one Spritze has, there are a lot of marginal Negro League players not on his list - so i'm not certain i'll use it at this point. Then again, i'm not certain i won't either ..... The minor leaguers that will come with 17 are most likely going to be interesting enough, if i sprinkle in the Negro Leaguers as free agents.

Well see .... anyway - again thanks for the tutorial - it was amazingly helpful- and i'm (as everyone) waiting impatiently for 17 to get rolled out.
