Seamheads begins release of Negro League statistics

Seamheads.com Negro Leagues Database Powered by The Baseball Gauge

For those of you roster/database makers who include Negro League players in your sets, hopefully by the time OotPB13 is released this will be a major resource. To date it covers mostly Cuban League and early Negro League players c. 1903-1922. Enjoy!

I'm not seeing anyway to download the data easily.

I captured the 1904/1905 Cuban League as a test but it sure is consuming of time.

Converted to Lahman compatable OK for OOTP but getting the info is a pain in the gerbilly bits.

The day when OOTP can utilize a multi-year Negro League database, I may need to retire so that I can just play for a year. I wonder if the NEA would give me a grant if I called it a performance art piece!?!

I have created batting, pitching and fielding csv's that can be used with OOTP for ALL the players and years and leagues on the seamhead site BUT the ability to download the player demographic data (master.csv) eludes me. With no master it no work.

Can a better mind than mine figure out how to download this? It is on the site individually for each player but not as an everyone at once download as near as I can tell.

This needs the master.csv filled in and a teams.csv created.

I couldn't figure the download on those items.

The attachment is really a ZIP file not XLS. I changed the file type so it weren't too big to upload.
