All historical minor leaguers are Caucasian.

I started an historical league in 1993 and noticed that all the minor leaguers are listed as Caucasian. This isn't a problem for those players that have facegens assigned to them from the historic facegen pack. However, for players like Jeff Jackson, Brien Taylor, Shon Walker, etc. who never made it to the majors and aren't included in the historic facegen mod, automatically generating facegens for them makes them all whiter than Ed Beagly Jr.'s untanned, near-albino posterior. That's kinda killing the immersion factor for me.

Did I do something wrong, or are all historic minor leaguers automatically assigned "Caucasian" as their default race?

There is no melanin pct defined in any database. I think they should all be "Equestrians" by default. They come in all the colors of the rainbow including rainbow!

Well, rainbows, sunshine and inoffensive yearbook answers aside, I think an historical minor league facegen pack would be the ideal way of addressing this. However, I can only imagine the enormous time and effort researching such a thing would require, let alone the 40+ years that creating the individual facegens would probably take.
