I was wondering if Spritze has had a chance to update the database described below. I'd love to get a copy of the latest version if available. I've really enjoyed using a earlier version for a historical league beginning in 1946.
Quote:
I plan on releasing a new version of this db that
A) Covers all players who played from 1945 to 1974
B) Fills in gap seasons like the Garlon/Spritze db
C) Adds a few more negro league and Japanese players than the Garlon/Spritze db has.
There will be many fewer gaps to close as Garlon/Spritze only covers major league careers and the other db covers major and minor careers. Almost nobody whose major league career ended in 1945 did not play quite a few more years in the minors.
I have entered all players A-N who played in 1945 so I still have O-Z left. Should take about 4 weeks to finish them. There were 235 players who ended their major league career in 1945. A normal year is about 70. Which is why it will take a while yet.
