An Example: The reason not to use Mr. Foxx's stats is you just get another Foxx (and you have already got one) which seems awfully boring, redundant, silly and just plain wrong.

I also believe Mr. Gibson and the rest of the negro leaguers can stand on their own merits. Besides which using Mr. Gibson's actual negro league records in this db he winds up with 531 HR's 1989 RBI's and a .297 BA in my main test league, which seems awfully Foxx like to me anyway.

I expect there may be a bit of fine tuning needed as this db progresses with certain players as the Negro and Japan MLE formulas will most likely need some tweaking. Especially pre-1920. These formulas basically work similar to the esteemed Mr. Garlons 750 run adjustments that make up the main portion of the db with some changes necessary due to uneven schedule lengths and some non-existant negro league information.

On the whole I think I'll just leave things as they are for now unless you can convince me that a whole league of Foxxes is preferable to a whole league of varigated hounds!

Please feel free to make any changes to the db you like of course. Edit away!
