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.

Oof. This one's gonna be tough. Gonna have to go into the MiLB Master.csv file to poke around. Have I mentioned how much I hate the MiLB Master.csv file? I wonder how many more of these there are. They're way harder to detect, as the MiLB Master file is hugemungous, and you just never know who's gonna leap out at you. I'll see what I can do about that one. Definitely not something I can proactively eliminate, and I think there are like 200,000 lines of data in that minor league Master file. Takes forever to load. Got him. Will upload pic in the post after the conjoined Williams brothers (Jerome and Jeff) saga pics.
