BB-ref ID's are not used in most cases, neither are Seamheads nor Spritzes. OOTP uses its own ID's. Hence the list.

The next version of the Spritze db will match the OOTP IDs.
Fair enough, then. Is there a similar file for the MiLB database? I assume there must be, since the OOTP IDs for neither of my Ray Browns matches bb-ref's. As for bb-ref's brown-006ray, I had no way of knowing he was white, since his only appearance came with the Chicago American Giants .
