I've been playing around with this new DB for a few days now, and have a couple of issues on players/playing time. (5 tests playing with just 1901-1920)

>Rube Foster never lasts more then 5 or 6 years (using just AAA & ML).
He has 2 full good years in each test, 2 ok years, and the rest are part time at best.
Career estimates/length seem to be too low for him to.

>Both Babe Ruths (babe & george) enter as Pitchers. One turns into a hitter while the other one dies off.....shouldnt the Babe only be a hitter, and George a pitcher. Also shouldn't George have a estimated career of his non-pitching years?

>A couple of the other negro league players seem to fall off quickly after a few years, while still young. Might be just bad luck (havent looked into the DB numbers on them, since it is different players each time)

>I keep hoping Cy (Young) would last more then a couple of years. Never happens (Rarely happens with the other db'S either.)

Still, it still seems to be very close overall, for the time period being played, and look forward to the next 20 years.
