Is this thread just for the MLB? Because I noticed a couple of issues with the Dutch leagues. In particular there is a fair number of players that don't have a date of birth and/or a city of birth listed; and the abbreviations of the dutch provinces are non-standard, which causes Noord Brabant and Noord Holland to both be abbreviated to NOO.

The most widely accepted set of abbreviations is:

DR = Drenthe
FL = Flevoland
FR = Friesland
GD = Gelderland
GR = Groningen
LB = Limburg
NB = Noord-Brabant
NH = Noord-Holland
OV = Overijssel
UT = Utrecht
ZH = Zuid-Holland
ZL = Zeeland

If it is required, I could probably help out with finding out the places and dates of birth of players. Also if any translations are needed from Dutch, I could also help with that.
