Dave Horn,
Thanks. However, I don't know the way to delete ghost players. Sorry.

jouiskc,
I am actually intrigued by your situation. There some things that you can check/test to confirm that Gill is no longer in the active player database. Note that You will only have the most accurate test result if you are still in the '46 season. First, confirm that Gill can't be found from 'player search' function (don't search for Gil manually, let OOTP do it). Second, output CSV files (player general information CSV and roster CSV). Confirm that Gil is not in either of those (just use search function in the spreadsheet). If you still can't find the name of 'Gil Hodges' in any of those places, then I am pretty sure that Gil is no longer in the active player database. You can do the above if you want/choose to.

Thanks.
