Not even a little bit important but Joe Mauer's "hometown" is listed as unknown. It should be Saint Paul. I think this is due to how the name of the city is referenced IRL vs. it's spelling in the database. Most of the time it's spelled St. Paul, where as in OOTP it's Saint Paul. So when the players were all put into OOTP his hometown was likely listed as St. Paul which isn't recognizable to the game because the name is fully spelled out. Long post for something so trivial I know but... well i'm bored.

EDIT: As a matter of fact the only city with Saint in it's name that is recognized by the abbreviation of St is St Louis. In future versions this should really be changed, at least for US cities as St is usually the recognizable and commonly used spelling. Example: St. Paul, St. Louis, St. Petersburg, St. Cloud, St. Michael
