This is a current limitation of the db, which Spritze has discussed before. For historical players, the game can't currently differentiate between cities with the same name in different states, so it just picks one, sometimes the wrong one.

We're working on merging the historical db into the roster db though, which will fix this issue when it happens. More of an OOTP22 thing at this point though.

As for Hollywood, Calif., probably that will never be in the db, as Hollywood is really just a neighborhood of Los Angeles, and we don't list neighborhoods as their own cities/towns in the db, even when they are bigger than most cities or towns, as in the case of Hollywood. Ultimately, the solution here will likely be to change Dierker's birthplace to Los Angeles.
