how do I get Negro League Players
I want to have Negro League players available in my historic league.
1. Where can I download them? 2. How do i set it up where they come in as free agents to be drafted in their debut season? Any help will be greatly appreciated. |

Seamheads & baseball reference has a lot of Negro League players in their databases. It's a lot of work, but you can sort through by years, find players that started in a given year, keep a list by year and player names & data, and whatever data you can glean from the site, then manually enter them as free agents in the years they started playing. There are also a few books you can find that deal with stats (incomplete), teams and players from the Negro Leagues.... Amazon would be a good place to start a search .... Again, it's a ton of work. POSSIBLY this summer or maybe version 18, there COULD be Negro League players available for the game. Earlier this spring that was a very hot (and contentious) topic. Something may be still in the working stages, but we won't know, most likely, until it is unveiled. Sorry, but that's the best i can think of if you wanted players in the relative near future.

He did say not currently supported by OOTP17. That implies that some time in the future, they might be supported by OOTP17. If I know anything about Spritze, it's that he'll find a way to get it done. It may take some time, but he'll get there. He's our database guru around here and he's done many things that they said couldn't be done before. I wouldn't count him out just yet.

Negro League Batting and Pitching files are completed (1898-1943). Fielding is about half done. Then I just need to put together the Master, Leagues and Teams. Won't finish until OOTP17 is stable. Then I plan on sending it to Markus and we will see what he can do with it. Stay tuned.

Thank you I think the availability of Negro League players and teams will add another dimension(s) to this already incredible package.
Mr. Spritze you are one of the best of many, many good people in these forums. Thank you again for your hard work and determination. |

This is definitely something to look forward to. It's a daunting task, but Spritze is definitely the right person for the job. Thank you!

I used your Spritze DB for OOTP 16 and it works for 17. The only thing I found though, searching for Negro League players in the master.csv is that there are no real decent third basemen for the years from 1876-1920. At least none I could find. In any case, I would love to have them added to OOTP 18. It would save a lot of searching and importing historical players in order to build a team. |
