I have a bunch more to post for the TL in 1924 and then plan on reviewing rosters for the TL in 1919 when OOTP picks up the league and moving forward. I'll continue to post names/BBref IDs and short explanation in this thread, but will use the blog section for more details on the players involved and reference sources.
Eventually, I'm convinced that we can consolidate most of the records for these minors, find the real names for the "ballplayers" and essentially make OOTP a truly unique resource for these leagues. |
It was BBref that decided there were two Coombs who played back to back in the Texas League. That was a good catch on your part. You're absolutely right that this is a long term project. But I really like going through the old Sporting News issues and learning about the careers of these players I never heard of before the release of OOTP 17. Post a link to your blog when you get started. I'm interested in your results.
