Historic Baseball Only names generator

f.montoya · 03-14-2006, 05:59 AM

This is a big names file that I basically copied names from the most popular databases and pasted them into the .DAT files to create a names generator that does/is:

* a creator of names that have existed in Major League Baseball, past and present.

* could produce names like "Barry Ruth" or "Hank Sosa".

* possibly, by luck, could produce a real player name such as "Ted Williams"

* will not produce a last name or a first name that never existed in the game of baseball.

* will produce roughly the same percentage of every name for the duration of your league's existence as occurred in MLB over the last 100+ years.

I created this in order to give me a more "baseball" feel to my fictional leagues and thougt I'd share it with everyone here:

Great Montoya!!!! I had messed with doing this cpl times myself but "things" kept getting in the way (actually if I had the attention span of something other than a cat, I might have done more)
