Well, you *are* in the era of Bill Veeck now. Perhaps those last years were just Hornsby coming back for "guest appearnces" like Minoso's one-shots in 1976 and 1980. Or can you tell he wa son the roster all year?I just wonder why he'd take a liking to the Rajah, Hornsby wasn't that much of a showman or anything. Now, I can see certain players taking advantage because of the vain idea that they still have hits left in their bats. (Then again, ISTR Hornsby did have some ego or other problems that caused him to be traded quite often late in his career. So maybe he *would* develop into one.)You can only blame Bill Veeck for one guy, though, maybe two. (Like Paige.)I guess it would feel like cheating to go in, edit the player, and change him to "retired" status. It would also not be fun - I kind of like the idea. If I didn't have all my classes and stuff toward my new career, I would likely buy the game. It's a lot better than cereer ending injuries to all sorts of top guys. (Now, if it happened only in 1918, or 1942-1945, war years, that *could 8 be an interesting thread for a dynasty.)
