All-Time Hometown Teams

bcarrey · 09-12-2018, 10:36 AM

Hey guys, I'm wondering if it's possible to take all players from the history of baseball and put them onto teams based on where they were born/raised. This is not possible in MLB the Show considering the lack of Canadians, or people born in Delaware etc.

However, if I was able to take all players in existence (players from the 60's, 70's etc) is this possible???

Thanks!!

*I've also posted this in the fictional simulation forum wasn't sure which one it fell under

Wow this is such an awesome idea (and it is 100% possible, it just requires some work)

Yes but it would be a ton of manual work. Just create text files using notepad with the players from baseball Ref based on where they were born. i have done this for illinois born players but not based on city.
see if this helps
