Player Managers

Playing a Historic Replay of 1976 Season. Frank Robinson was Player/Manager of the Cleveland Indians both 1975 and 1976. During the replay the Indians waived Frank Robinson and the Sim teams jumped all over him to claim him. So he played over half the season for the Minnesota Twins and at the same time was Manager in Cleveland. During a late season series he was playing and managing both and for both teams at the same time.
The game really needs to retire him and not waive him in Cleveland if the GM decides he is of no value as a player. Lou Bourdreau for the 40's era Indians would be the same, and I think the late 30's Cardinals had a player manager. Funny to see, but a glitch none the same. Thank you otherwise for the fantastic OOTP21 product.
