Well done!

Similarly, bonine001edd is listed as "Keith Bonine" in the game, but this is Eddie Bonine, Sr. (they're both legally "Eddie Keith Bonine") and that's what it says on his Cramer card:

IRL, the Astros left him at AAA Tucson for three seasons before casting him out into the desert, but here they made him part of a package of prospects (Scott Loucks, John Mizerock) they sent to Toronto to reacquire John Mayberry after a 40 HR season in 1980. (Are they mad? Did they forget Mayberry can't hit in the Astrodome?) So Eddie/Keith/whoever is getting his shot, thanks to Canada.
