Nice going and thanks for posting, I am sure many will find it useful.
There is a program underway aimed at bringing these players' IDs into line as much as possible, so hopefully at some point in the not-too-distant future, these will all match up.
A little tip for those who are at least a little bit versed in Excel and want to import or peruse the entire rookie class of any particular season.
If you get a copy of the MiLB Master.csv from your stats directory and convert it to an .xls or .xlsx format, you can apply a couple filters that will parse out (almost) all the NeL rookies for any particular year.
Filter 1: the rookie / debut year
Filter 2: ethnicity (set to African and Hispanic, or to exclude Caucasian)
This only works for years before 1945 / integration and you need to watch for Hispanic players who did make it into the MLB).
Sadly I can't attach a pre-made version due to file size limits but it's fairly easy. Hit me up on DM if you need a hand.
