City of Birth Corrections

[big8dog88]

I've been creating a universe of all-time great and pretty good players to put in an all-time league, and along the way, I've been correcting hometowns of players. I haven't gone through all 23,000 players who have played the game, but I have done over 2600 of them, so I have a pretty good list here of city of birth corrections. Some of these aren't exact, due to what the game will let me enter, in those cases, I've used Google Maps to get as close as possible. I also haven't included any Negro League players yet, that's coming. Baseball-Reference is my source for birth cities. So here my list

EDIT 1/29/25: I have now looked at over 150 Negro/Cuban League players and have come up with a list of corrections for those which can be found on post #16 of this thread. Like the rest of MLB, I have not, nor do I intend to, go over every one who's ever played, so if you have anyone to add, post it here and I can add it to this master list, which the game creators can use to update databases for future versions, and the DIYers can use to fix the current and older game as they see fit.

[LansdowneSt]

Thanks for these. I have a long list from textilemonster too and an excel checklist of every player that's ever played in the MLB to ensure I verify everyone's bio info even if no one has flagged them for review. Updating birthplaces is part of it and a work in progress in the database. It's just a slog and done as time permits.

Just FYI not all of these cities are in the game and also the game does not do a good job at always picking the right city, even if it IS in the game. Like Vida Blue, he is listed to be born in Mansfield, OH but he was born in Mansfield, LA. Hopefully soon though.

[big8dog88]

Actually, all of the cities listed here ARE in the game. Some don't necessarily match their actual birthplaces. Example: Jordan Zimmermann was born (and went to high school) in Auburndale WI. Auburndale WI is not in the game, what's listed here is nearby Hewitt WI, with the "CL" notation meaning that it's close, not exact. This can be used for game purposes if, for example, you're running the Milwaukee Brewers and are looking for local talent.

The right city wrong state issue is known. I believe it happened in the database merge of two versions ago. It’s not the game choosing the wrong state, it’s an issue at the core database. The first step is to correct the database itself that generates the csv files and, for missing cities, if they still exist, add them. If they are gone or BBR uses a neighborhood instead of a city, one then uses the modern, actual city in the database.

It’s my side project. There entries are now on a list for correction. I got it. .

[big8dog88]

It's been longer than two years, this was an issue in OOTP 18, which I've been playing until I recently purchased 25.

Thanks for your responses and the work you put into this. A little off-topic, but another error is Wee Willie Keeler is listed at 6'0" (183 cm, should be 163).

[LansdowneSt]

Yeah, there were ones that I swear were corrected that, when I see them back to same city, wrong state, I attribute to the merge.

Wee Willie is now appropriately diminutive.

Thanks for the NeL guys. Good news is I did almost all of these a month ago in the db

[Lukas Berger]

This is very helpful, thanks for posting it!

[OutS|der]

Would be a cool feature to be able to run like an auto update on players basic info based on their BBRef ID.

All the work you guys do updating the database and adding more cities is great but for those of us playing leagues from past versions miss out on all this.

Also thank you very much for this. I'm going to be updating my save from 21.

Thanks for the posts - it is appreciated!

I just found textilemonster's list that you are referring to.

Click this and then click the link in it to get to his list. The only drawback is that he used the Lahman ID, instead of the player's name. His list is very thorough, (2800 players) and has a lot more obscure players than mine. Mine, however adds a "close enough" element for cities not in the game that his doesn't.
