I have been working on what I call the condensed version of MLB. I used the random db creator but instead of randomly assigning debut years. I took the actual debut years of players from 1871-2006 and condensed it down to 1891-1931. This allows some of the old school guys to get into the action, ie. Tommy Bond, Cap Anson and the like. They debut at 26-30 years of age instead of 18-21 like most rookies because the league starts with 1901. For me this gives them a place in the timeline of the game if you will but not with some of the inflated numbers produced. Anyway I also condensed the era_stats and era_modifiers database files as well as the teams.csv file. for instance what was in real life 1922 is my 1909. This gives me the changes in team names, stadiums, and moves to new cities as well as expansion all within some 40 years or so of simming. All that said I have also split the Babe into two, George (pitcher) and Babe (batter). As well as some Negro players ie. Martin Dihigo. Seems to work so far.

I love the fact that this years draft (1909) class included: Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Paige, Simmons, Hubbell and Klein. And that last years HR champion was Mule Suttles. I had a blast going to the web and finding some quotes to paste into my own news articles. Things like the 50 once bat used and his legendary long balls.

I have a Question: what is meant by this line?

The Negro leagues were very high scoring so converting batters to a 4.63 run environment takes a lot of the air out of their stats.

How will this effect the Negro players current db stats? For instance Mule Suttles and Satchel Paige not to mention Rube Foster my current strikeout king.

Anyway having some good simmin fun with db thanks Spritze and Garlon again for your hard work.
