Fictional players being generated
Playing in 1906 and I thought I set league up for historical players but have been noticing a bunch of Ballplayer (blank) ,ie Ballplayer Bailey, Ballplayer Walsh. Lots of em and some other fictional guys.
I thought I set it up right, but maybe missed something. Automatically import historic rookies is checked Use random rookies for all eras is unchecked Ive disabled the amateur draft so players should start with team the actually started with. Disable automatic creation of free agents is checked. (wasn't 100% sure of this one) Generate International, Independent,etc Free agents unchecked Also been noticing that quite a few rookies who had, historically insignificant careers, have dominated early on. |

The guys who put the historical minors together were unable to find the full name of some of the players. Particularly that far back. Sometimes the only records are box scores from newspaper clippings. With only a record of a last name the first name became "Ballplayer" . Obviously those players did not enjoy long careers in baseball or their names would be known. However, OOTP develops players with a bit of random chance so one of your ballplayer guys could develop into a much better player than his real life counterpart. And a historical superstar might develop into a lesser player than his historical counterpart.

Wait until one of those guys becomes a manager. If I run into one of those, I make up a first name.
