John Martin (St. Louis Cardinals pitcher) has his stats mixed with another John Martin from the late 70's that never made the majors.
Importing martin016joh in 1977 yields a player with the Majors/bRef code of martijo05 with a mix of both players stats.
Importing martin012joh in 1977 yields a player with the Majors ID code of martijo05 (but a blank bRef code) with a mix of both players stats.
Trying to import using the major league code martijo05 (in 1980 as that's when John made the bigs) yields the martin012joh player... which is the wrong one per baseball-reference.
