The "Unedited" version of the Legends League is done.
This league file is approx 50MB zipped + The "Stadium" graphics file (zipped).

Now, I'm working on the "edited" versions. Since I'm finding it difficult to "cut" out alot of "duplicate" players because I'm such a statistics hound, I'm thinking of creating at least two, maybe three, slimmed down "edited" versions of the files.

This way, one can choose which of the various file size League databases they prefer. My last "edited" version will likely only have one to three versions or "duplicates" of the same player.

When I say "duplicate" I refer to having included a player like Barry Bonds or Sandy Koufax or whomever for different seasons.

Thus there is an abundance of "duplicate" players like Barry Bonds in the database. For example:

Barry Bonds'89Pi (Bonds 1989 Pirates)
Barry Bonds'96G (Bonds 1996 Giants)

Sandy Koufax'62D (Koufax 1962 Dodgers)
Sandy Koufax'65D (Koufax 1962 Dodgers)

This means that there are sometimes 5-10 such "duplicates" for players such as Mickey Mantle, Mark McGwire, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, and on and on ...

So far, I'm up to editing out ShortStops on the 1st "edited" version. After keeping a copy or two or three, I will go back and pare the list down some more. My problem with speed is that I also have a ton of work work and play play to squeeze in between.

Hopefully, I can get this done and have my website up and running before the season starts. I know your all anxious to get a copy of this and I'm working hard to make it happen as soon as possible.

Thanks
