The Database To End All Databases

RMc · 05-19-2005, 02:15 PM

I'm starting my umpteenth historical replay league, and I want this one to have (pre-1947) Negro Leaguers in it (and PCL and Japanese players, too, if possible). Is there a Lahman-style database with the NeL players added in? I've seen NeL db's but I can never figure out how to blend them into Lahman's. I've checked the various OOTP mods boards but I can't seem to find one all-inclusive database (preferably a career-normalized one, like Ankit's). Ideas?

I think the Negroleague database was on tresclub's site. Not sure if he had anything to do with it. Maybe PM him and see. If it is compatible you should be able to integrate it with the lahman base. There was a longtime thread on a PCL database that involved alot of people. I also remember a site that had a work in progress Nippon league base but unfortunately can't remember the thread/site. Try a search on all of these you shuold find some results.
Good luck!

I've seen NeL databases and one of the JPL; I'm sure I could find one for the PCL if I looked around.

The question is: how do you combine them into one database? Simply cut and paste the csv files, using WordPad or something? Or is there more to it than that? (And why hasn't somebody already done it and saved me the trouble?

Thanks!

Some of us have played around with them, but in many cases, they dont work right without some (major) modifications. Incomplete stats, partial seasons and some unrealistic totals, makes many of the players, so far ahead of the 'real' major leaguers, that in upsets the whole game.
