Historical Lahman ID function

elclarkey · 04-02-2016, 05:31 PM

I've been inputting players manually. I looked up the Lahman ID database and downloaded a copy of it.

It seems that it will map specific players to their stats, etc. Am I correct?

Can someone elaborate on its use and how it works in game? Does it pull stats, player info, etc.? What exactly does using this do?

It is already in the game 1871-2014.
2015 is from BBref.

Please pardon me for being a noob. So the Lahman database is already in game?

I searched the manual and didn't find much on it. how do I use and what does it add to the game?

It's extinct, but you can use it to lookup ids, stats and such.
For new players in 2015 onward, the ids may work and may not.
As of 2015...we do everything on our own.
