Ok RchW...Got one for you. First screenshot shows that the computer has chosen Milton Bradley for the AL Jackie Robinson Award (Rookie of the Year). Second screenshot is a shot of Milton Bradley's card with his Service Time listed as 1 Year, 121 Days. Therefore, by the little known third criterion for Rookie of the Year (no more than 45 Days on the roster prior to September in prior year(s) - I play with September roster expansion off, so that's no more than 45 days on the roster in prior year(s) period), he should not be eligible for the award. Yet, he is. Theoretically, this could lead to a duplicate of RoY awards for one player if he didn't exceed his AB or IP criteria in those years, which Bradley didn't. This is going to be problematic in leagues with shorter schedules (which the OP appears to have been playing as he was in 1871) because AFAIK, the AB and IP criteria do not change regardless of schedule size. I'm gonna enjoy ripping the award away from a RL cretin like Bradley, but that's neither here nor there. Screenshots below.
