Bizarre... I un-retired a retired player

Here's a screenshot of Kenneth Hixon, an excellent closer for my Sarasota Sunrays from 2031 to 2042. The current year in my league is 2061.

I was perusing my Almanac after a dissapointing season when the game crashed.

"OK" I thought. "This happens from time to time, no biggie."

I re-open the game to find my 5th starter is GONE - like, no longer on my team, and Kenneth Hixon (the guy I happened to be looking at when the game crashed - I think) was on the team. HE RETIRED 19 YEARS AGO! WHAAAA???

I'm not sure what to think of this, I guess it's just a bizarre, freaky thing. Luckily he wasn't that bad when he retired (even at 41) so maybe I'll try him out for his second career as a middle reliever.l

My apologies for the quality of the image. Only the monochrome bmp was below a meg.

Pay attention to the upper right corner, where it says 4/1/2061 - and the last sentence in the Player History, where it says he was retired and inducted into the hall of fame in 2049. Weird.

The 5th starter was R. Lovejoy - GONE. No longer in the game... at all. He's not retired, he's not on the waiver wire, he's not on another team... It's like he never existed....

Before I posted this I searched on "Lovejoy" and found this guy. He's 64 years old, on the waiver wire, he was drafted in 2045 (according to his History) but played his first minor leage game in 2016? HUH?

This bug has been posted several times now dating back to OOTP3 and I hope to see very soon that it has been located and squashed.
