This is a potential bug I've noticed for a few versions now. I thought it had something to do with importing a long term historical replay league for a few years. So, I didn't report it. However, I started a new replay league with 17, and the issue is still there.

When new players enter a league, they are one year older than they were in real life. This is according to their ages on Baseball Ref. For instance, Ty Cobb enters the league in 1905, and he is 19. His birthday is one year older than it should be according to BR. He was actually 18 in 1905.

This issue only happens with new players as they debut each year. The ages and birthdays are correct for those who are in the league for the year the sim is started.

In my previous league, I would go through each team's roster each year and adjust the new players so their ages matched what was shown in BR. They were always imported in as one year older than they should have been.

If I recall, this is an issue that started appearing in my league a couple of years ago but was not present the few years I ran that league prior to that.

Thanks!
