i believe actionjackson sent you a .csv file for 17 ... it'll work, for all but the most recent players added in the Spritze 18 db. Bbref is a source (offten not correct for the game IDs) you might look if the player isn't in the file actionjackon sent you - but i suspect 95% of the players will show up in that older .csv file. Otherwise, maybe look in the minor league .csv file that comes in the game. Almost every player in the Spritze database is in that file, but i can't say if the player IDs are the same. that;s just not something i've looked into. yes, a muddled mess to be certain. best of luck, and hope some of this might help or make sense.
ODB files are proprietary to OOTP Developments. They are not readable without being hacked like they do on TV shows and movies. 10 seconds max.

OOTP has its own negro league player id schema as many of the players in the game are not included on BBref.
