The last two digits are for sorting out duplicates; for example, there are four Bob (or Bobby) Adams in the Lahman database, adamsbo01, adamsbo02, adamsbo03, adamsbo04. They correspond to the four Bob Adams found by searching Baseball Reference:

By the way, you may notice that B-R seems to follow this player name/numbering scheme. That's how I noticed Hank Aaron is actually "aaronha01" in the database; he's listed that way in the address for his B-R page:

A little tip that I read here recently . . .

They were 68-20 at home that year (including playoffs and World Series) in the original Yankee Stadium (1923-2008), "Where Players Became Legends."
