(PS: If this is in the wrong place, please move it to where it should belong. I just wanted to make sure everyone saw it)

Here's a resource for those who might want to replay Robert Coover's "Universal Baseball Association" in OOTP. I've gathered all the data I could find in the book about the 102 characters mentioned and filled in the rest with starting years and ages based on the league starting in 1901 (=Season I) and ending in 1955 (=Season LV). The placement of each and every player is not "exact" in that many were mentioned to belong in "Eras" rather than specific years - but I tried to work out a rookie distribution that made sense to the intent of the book.

I thought it would be useful to anyone that may want to try a replay with all the information available but without the huge effort to assemble it. Anyone who would like to take this player creation method to the next step for OOTP is free to do so (such as devising a way to input these players as an import directly).

Enjoy.
