I know that this bug has been mentioned before, but nobody seems to have it narrowed down, specifically...

The bug I'm talking about makes news stories about Players of the Week / Month incomplete or missing some words, and fails to increment the player's award count (in Streaks / Records) or add the award to their player history.

Sometimes it will say that the player has won the award for the "0th" time; most of the time the story will be missing some words, e.g. "The Western Division's best player of the week was He hit .364 with...".

I had one or two players that this happened to every time they won an award... until they went to another team via free agency. So here's what I've figured out:

This bug only happens to players from Team 1 (in League 1), EXCEPT that if the Batter of the Month has the bug, the Pitcher of the Month for that league also is affected by it. It is not a problem with the history file (pXXX.txt), because other news is recorded correctly, such as all-stars, injuries, and new contracts. Once a player is no longer on Team 1, their awards are recorded correctly.

I'm still not sure if it's all players on Team 1 or just certain players (not many different people on a team win awards), but hopefully this info will help zero in on this and squash it in time for the October-ish update.
