jouiskc,
I am no expert in ghost players issue, but I will try to give some inputs. First, forgive me for a such obvious question: do you have the "Include Player Report" enabled in ALMANAC setting? OOTP has that disabled as default. If it's not on, then you won't see players' reports in ALMANAC, they were simply not made. Since Gil Hodges has significant playing time in 44 and 45, he should be in ALMANAC for those years (since ALMANAC is made at the end of the year). I doubt OOTP has the capability to erase a player's past, it does not simulate "Witness Protection Program".
Then, more questions. Second, where can you find Gil Hodges in 46? Can you find him in (1) player search function or (2) retired player database? (The retired player database is accessed through "Hall of Fame" in General History/ALMANAC screen) If you can find him in retired player database, then it's obivious that he has retired (possible due to injury, age, etc.) If you can find him in search function but not on any team's roster or FA list, then you have a ghost player on your hand. However, my hypothesis on ghost player is that ghost players are players without ML experience since I have yet to encounter ghost players with significant ML playing time. So, if it's the second situation, it will be new to me. And then, if you truly can not find him anywhere. Well then I really have not idea what's going on.
Hope this helps a bit.
