And until 1950 I'm using 2000 as the date cutoff, then I'll roll it forward. Again, it's about bringing some lesser-known guys (back) to people's consciences.

I've also added some Negro League players in there - lord knows they never got their dues IRL.
Very nice! That was one of the challenges for the WBL--for all baseball sims I've ever done, actually. How to balance out the talent spectrum. I never thought of just chopping off the top end, but it's a great idea.
