I didn't know that. That's interesting I thought it was Lahman's.

According to Gambo's thread on his db release. you're supposed to choose the neutralized option when starting with his file. That's why I've hedged on using it. Because I'm starting with a fictional custom league and won't be able to select that option.

Already tested it, and it works beautifully. I tested a run at it with Gambo's db. I started in 1869 with fictionals. The 1870 draft was all fictionals and the 1871 draft was all players imported from Gambo's db.
I already have the 1861 file I'm going to use set up and ready to go. I just have to choose a db for when 1871 rolls around. I have edited the fictional players it starts with to have all last names from real players that played between 1855-1861. I used the New York times box scores to do this.

I appreciate your input. I especially appreciate the heads up on how to use your db. Look for the Dynasty I'm going to run in the Dynasty area.
