Im doing it a little bit differently than the last time. I still have the 50+ players who played in the Negro leagues and the majors coming in at age 21.(For example Roy Campanella and Jackie Robinson import in ~1942). For those players who where 21 after 1947 (Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks) i kept them importing when they joined their major league organizations. What I will probably do is include an alternate master file that can be plugged in which has the negro leaguers ommitted and the players who played in both leagues coming in when they signed with their 1st pro team. All that would have to be changed is the master file debut year. It is not a perfect remedy but it should work just fine.

As for the recalculate feature. You could always use the database without the recalculate feature turned on. However, many players feel that a career average database is better in these instances. I personally can go either way.
