I am currently having a problem, it seems, with importing Ed Nunez into my Baseball Heaven project's first amateur draft pool scheduled for December 1901 at present. When I try to import him as desired, using the practice others have suggested here in this thread for me to use to manually build a draft pool, it imports him as a 97-year-old, when he should be roughly 80 years younger than that, more or less, I think, as I then try to import him manually into the applicable draft pool, as recommended above for matters related to draft pools, et cetera.

This is the player I want to import into the applicable draft pool, if possible:

https://www.baseball-reference.com/p...unezed01.shtml. But it's showing him as a 97-year-old, with a birthdate of May 27, 1803, when on that record mentioned above, he first played professional baseball, albeit minor league baseball, during his age-16 year in 1979, evidently. He first played in the majors in 1982, which was his age-19 year, according to the same record.

I've tried manually importing him using his BB-Ref ID, and using 1978 as the season year, when he would have been 15/16 years old, depending on the current date in that year for him, as if he might have been potentially draft-eligible sometime during the various 1978 drafts, et cetera. But as I said, he is apparently importing as a 97-year-old with an apparent birthdate of May 27, 1803. Yet, when I then check the line in the editor that sets the birthdate for players, it currently has the year box somehow blank for some yet-still-unknown reason, and it shouldn't be, for sure, of course, even when a player is either imported or created for the game.

If anyone could help me out here with this matter related to Ed Nunez, please let me know. Thank you. CD out.
