Player ages

bravesfan · 03-17-2002, 07:04 AM

I created a historical league using the Lahman 4 database for the year 1964. All of my players are showing their ages as being -2. Has this happened to anybody else? Short of editing each individual player is there a workaround to this. I cannot believe nobody else has run into this.

You are using an invalid database.

Make sure you get the generic (comma delimited (.csv)) version of the database, the other version won't work. Or you could use IatricSB's excellent databases available under the files tab at <a href="http://www.boys-of-summer.com" target="_blank">http://www.boys-of-summer.com</a>
