Importing Historical Players

Commissioners can import a single historical player from a third-party historical database. This is done
through the Import Historical Player action button on the

Free Agents page , or the Show All Players page .

To import a single historical player, click the Import Historical Player button. You then go through a process very similar to that used to

import an entire historical league.
The main difference between this page and importing an entire historical league is that you must know the player’s unique ID, as used in the historical database. Enter this value in the first field, and then select the
other options.

Note: One “trick” to finding the player’s ID is to visit

http://www.baseball-reference.com/players.shtml.
Look up the player you wish to import, and then check the URL string. The player’s unique ID is the portion of the file name before .shtml.

Once you are done, click Import Player to bring the player into your game. He will become a free agent immediately.

Hope this helps
