Joe Blong (blongjo01) is listed in-game as having 11 earned runs as a pitcher in 1875, for an ERA of 0.77. But baseball reference reports a much more realistic 44 runs and 3.07 ERA.

That, good sir, was a typo of my own making. The 1 is right below the 4 on my number pad

It is corrected - thanks!

Not sure if it's fix or not but I have search the OTTP27 and OOTP26 Historical issue threads with no results.

Bob O'brien is listed in the database with an Hispanic facial type, at the best of my knowledge he is Caucasian.

So what I’m seeing is there is no DSL in historical saves? Has this always been the case?

That's my recollection without looking it up. Opening the MiLB Teams csv will show you all the teams and affiliations by year.

So if someone was only on a DSL team on a given year they might come in as a free agent as they don't have a landing spot in a historical set-up. So, think of it as the buscones that year in the save haven't gotten them tied down yet and over to a team.

Minor League Tony Long (long--001wil) has his 1994 stats doubled. He played for 2 teams and his combined stats are listed for both teams, rather than the individual results.

Keith McDonald was born in Japan, but to an American serviceman. His imported facial type is Asian, but should probably be caucausian.

No idea if this is fixed or not but Tommy Cruz (cruz--001cir) doesn't import in 1973... obviously I know why, it's because he didn't get an AB but he scored a run in 73 as a pinch runner.

That whole, limited though it was, 1973 batting line was missing but is in there now.

Harry Davis (davisha01) is missing his 1916, 1 game, 1 plate appearance (walk) stat line.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/p...avisha01.shtml
https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/D/Pdavih101.htm

Interestingly (to me...), BB-Ref has RBI errors for '13 and '16. Their Game logs for him don't match the totals, showing 4 in '13 with 0 in '16, when it should be 3 and 1. I wonder if they have an error e-mail.

Thanks!

Mariano Duncan (duncama01) was a switch-hitter in 1985-86, and parts of 1987.

'Tis but a single career field for a player with regard to handedness. Left or Right or Both. So that one will have to be for users to edit on their own.

John Hairston (hairst001joh) has fake pitching stats for 1990, 1991, and 1996.

Thanks!

I have searched the OOTP26 and OOTP27 threads and that doesn't seem fixed (unless it was at OOTP27 launch).

Dan Ford is listed in the database with a Caucasian facial type, he is African American.
