Its hard to find them all with the way the naming conventions were done in this set. When the historical minors IDs were generated with the set I'm using, it looks like some program was used where it took the first 3 letters of the players name and put them at the end. Works for a lot of player, but it doesn't for tons of others. Players named Mike had mik added when their legal name is Michael so it should have been mic. same for Tony and Anthony, Dick and Richard, Al and Allen, Allan, and so forth.

Does anyone have a spreadsheet of every player's historical minors/lahman ID? I suppose one could just go through the remaining players and search the spreadsheet, if the name doesn't exist in the spreadsheet, delete the file. That would be a help.

I think all of them are listed in the database csv aren't they?
