This is actually a pretty common issue with any of the DBs available for OOTP, both the standard historical DB that ships with the game or any of the custom ones; I think it's partly a function of not all municipalities in the US being part of the game's database (which explains why the game says Ty Cobb was born in Narrows, Virginia instead of Narrows, Georgia. I also don't believe that Harrisville, Michigan is in the game; I make a semi-concerted effort to correct player birthplaces in my historical leagues and I've definitely tried to modify his before) but there are plenty of cases where players are simply listed in the wrong state despite the availability of the proper municipality. Does anyone know how birthplaces are assigned in the databases?
