Lahman Import Issue With 1.76

[KG Erwin]

Note to Shaun: I've noted that when players are listed as having played in both the outfield and the infield, PS will list these guys with their infield spots being primary. So, teams having two or three 1B or 3B is not uncommon. The primary OF positions are being overridden. THIS might be a problem with the Lahman Imports in the pre-1960 era.

I discovered this while creating a 1947 historical association with 35-man rosters, finances OFF.

Can you give me a few specific examples to analyze? Thanks.

Tom McBride, Washington Senators. Imports as 3B. Actual games -- 51 as OF, 1 as 3B.
George Binks, Philadelphia As. Imports as 1B. Played 75 games in OF, 13 at 1B. Ron Northey, St Louis Cardinals. Imports as 3B. 94 games in OF, 2 at 3B.

Each team from '47 showed examples like this. I'm thinking that the modern-day OF fix somehow screwed up the import scheme for older years.

Yep, thanks.

Lahman can be tough with OF's some years they are all maked as "OF" others they have duplicate records for "OF" and their real position (for ex. "LF").

I just made a fix that should account for both. Sorry for the trouble. I will upload one last 1.76 patch for the evening Hey it's beta until I post it on the suldocstudios.com front page
