On the matter we discussed before, I think I would like to place a sticky in the historical mods area for like-named players. I have four more sets to add to the nine I have already posted separately. I am willing to do the work, but I don't know how. If you can direct me some videos on how to this, that would be great. However, thinking about it, it might be quicker for both of us if you were willing to help me out. I don't know what it takes to create a sticky or move a post to another thread, but I'm willing to do it if can help me learn how. I have a Masters in Computer Education, so I'm not a complete amateur, but in the last 3-4 decades things have changed a lot and I haven't kept up. Let me know. No urgency.

(Edit 9-10-25) I now have 8 sets to add. (Below is not part of this edit.)

Btw, here's the Willie Wells Jr. photo I made for my OOTP 26 folder. I got it from Seamheads and enhanced and sharpened it a little. OOTP doesn't list him, but Baseball-Reference credits him with 5 years of service, 1944-48. Seamheads does, too. I would think that in those year the Chicago American Giants and the Memphis Red Sox would have been among the teams reclassified as "major leagues", but maybe I'm wrong.

Nope, I was right. Both those teams were in the Negro American League which is now recognized as "major" from 1933 to 1948. So why isn't Willie Jr. in OOTP's database?
