Lahman Database Help?

vvac35 · 12-30-2003, 06:28 PM

I know that I'm going to sound really stupid here, and all you highly experienced computerers are going to look down and laugh at me, but I have a few questions about the Lahman Database.

First of all, will it allow me to have the most up to date rosters with the most up to date stats?

Secondly, how do I use it? How do I import it into OOTP and play with it?

Thanks for the help.

MWA HA HA HA HA !!!!! SILLY NEWBIE!

Seriously, though........

It will allow you to have rosters through the beginning of the 2003 season.

To get the most up-to-date rosters...go HERE. Joe should have the best ones....with trades, signings and whatnot. Baseball Sim Central has some good ones as well.

Secondly, just download the the Lahman database into a separate folder on your hard drive. If you want to create a historical league, just choose that option, type in the path (eg: C:\LAHMAN), and follow the prompts. OOTP will do the rest.

Hope that helps.....
