Hello,

I've been running an historical simulation, starting from 1920, with little to no problems. I am using the default database. I took off the color barrier, I've integrated early, my sim has been operating with no hiccups.

Until now. I just finished the 1930 season, and Josh Gibson is nowhere to be found. I search for his name, and he does not come up at all. I figured that maybe he would import with the new class of free agents, following the world series, but he is not there.

I've utilized the search player function around the league, he hasn't even been created yet. Which is odd considering, when you look at his real life statistics, he started playing in 1930.

I have not had this problem with any of the other Negro Leaguers, Satchel Paige, came in fine. So did Cool Papa Bell and Turkey Stearnes.

I even tried manually importing him using his Baseball reference ID and I got the "import failed" notification. My only thoughts is that maybe he will show up in 1933? Because there is a gap in his statistics according to baseball reference? I honestly have no idea. Any help would be appreciated because I'm really enjoying this save, and don't want to have to start over. Thank you.
