In OOTP 23 and in earlier series OOTP misidentifies a player. I don't know if this has been caught in time for OOTP 24.

"Jeff Stone" is actually "John Stone", who played from 1928 - 1938 for the Detroit Tigers and Washington Senators. John's nickname was "Rocky" and he was a pretty good player for his time in the majors. The "Real Life Stats" for "Jeff"/"John" Stone are accurate as far as they apply to John Stone. To my knowledge John Stone was never called "Jeff" who was himself a legitimate player through the 1980s and early 1990s.

I wanted to bring this to someone's attention, but don't know just how to do that. But there it is. I have made this public, so it is my hope that word of this error will get to the editors.
