Incredible Tasks
i really tried to get into the historical minors, but just couldn't get around the 1901-192? gap of using reserve rosters instead of minor league levels. i have a few books, and there's a ton of on-line data, so i decided to create my own minors from 1901 onward. i gave up after 1500 players and only 10 years into PART of the data. Decided to go back to my "historical" 1901 with feeder and self created minors .....
How in the heck did Spritze and Big Rod (and others) do it? What an incredible, monumental and wonderful task they took on and created. i'm amazed and humbled. If it ever evolves so we can have our self created minors merge with their historicals and maybe even Negro Leaguers, i'll have to restart for certain.
Anyway, this is just to say i knew their efforts to create the historical minors was incredible, but now i have a better understanding. It's a monumental accomplishment. Take a bow, fellas, you deserve it!
