Also, although I see stats for Negro-Leaguers in batting2.csv, I do not see stats for them in pitching2.csv...

And, in the 750 readme, it shows the career spans of Negro-Leaguers. For examples:

c - Josh Gibson (1933-1949)
1b - Buck Leonard (1929-1945)

However, in the batting2.csv file, the career spans are different:

Josh Gibson = 1929-1946
1b - Buck Leonard = 1933-1955

I don't necessarily see a problem, but I'm just wondering at what the years in the readme represent (maybe actual career?) and how the career spans in the database were determined.

And re my previous post, am I correct in the that the pitching2, batting2, etc., files represent the neutralized data in the odb file?

Thanks
