Have started a 1969 game and am discovering that Jim Ray Hart is incorrectly listed with "Jim" as his first name and "Ray Hart" as his surname, as if he were Bruce Dal Canton or Todd Van Poppel or the like.
This has two distinct negative effects:
• It knocks out Hart's Historic ID (hartji01), since the game is looking for something starting with "r", and as a consequence of this…
• Hart's MLB stats do not load. (His minors stats are ok, since the minors ID survived, somehow) According to the game, Hart played two years in the minors and then has been an inactive FA since 1963. Please correct this.
Also, on an (I think) unrelated point, Hart's date of birth is listed as October 30, 1940; the sources I've checked show 1941, instead.
Bobby Gene Smith is listed simply as "Bobby Smith" in the game, and so doesn't have this issue. And I can't think of any other "two first names" players who might have this problem off the top of my head, but if you can, please check them out as well.
Thanks in advance.
ETA: Not that simple, it appears. The "real" Jim Ray Hart is in his proper place, on the Giants, with "Ray" correctly ID'd as part of his first name and using the "hartji01" Historic ID and its attendant MLB stat history.
It's just that he's spawned this döppelgänger, Jim "Ray Hart", who has custody of the Historic Minors ID (hart--007jam) and has the minors stats that are missing from MLB Jim Ray's records.
So we've got one Hart who the game thinks went straight to the majors in 1963, and a Ray Hart who the game thinks played in the minors in 1962-1963 and then took a very long vacation. It's pretty much like the Star Trek episode where Captain Kirk is split in two (or the Buffy the Vampire Slayer ep where something similar happens to Xander, or however many more copies/homages have been done…), isn't it? Can you please get the two Harts reintegrated before Steve Ontiveros freezes to death down on the planet, or whatever? Again, thanks.
