#1 Yes, for alternate universe games, I'd like some players ( Harvey Haddix ) to come from Medway, Ohio, which is not in the file.

#2 Not all players import from the master.csv properly, and many come from towns too small to be in the file. If added, with geographical coordinates, the free agent process will be better, even if by a small percentage.

It's small, but repeated efforts that pay attention to detail that will make this a better game.
