Database Rosters are from where in the season?

Eddie Paxil · 07-16-2007, 02:17 AM

I have both Lahman's & Gambo's databases. I've grown to like Gambo's a bit more, but I'm curious about something.

When you load a particular year, what rosters are you loading? Opening day or closing day? I'd assume opening day, but I don't want to assume...

I just started a 1977 league, the year Dave Kingman played on 4 different teams, and he imported as a Met, which was the first team he played for. So it appears as though it is the opening day rosters. I never really thought about that before

Opening Day...in the database it the team lines are sorted by 1,2,3 etc... it always takes team 1. So as long as the DB has it right the game will too.

It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you.
