I was thinking about creating a fictional/historical database to use within the game. I would use the players in lahman and also enough fictional players to get a good mix each season.

How would I create the mix??? I would use the players in Ankits + I would need a few owners to send me their output files from either the export program for each season, or a copy of their catobase files. I would put these into an access table and then convert to the CSV files needed to import into the game. This would allow players to play upto 150-200 seasons instead of 80-90...... Some purist would not want historical and fictional mixed but I think that this is needed since using only historical players tends to put players into the minors and they cannot play as many major league seasons (this is due to the first season in the tables is their rookie year and not debut year in baseball). Just an idea anyone interested send me a message.....

I also like the idea of putting "YOUR" fictional players into a database, some or all of them, I still keep a list of my favorite players...
