Historical Database Question

Ksyrup · 03-28-2007, 03:25 PM

If I want to exclude certain people from importing into my game from the Lahman database, do I need to delete every yearly entry from the database (say, if a guy played from 1979-1984, I would need to delete all 6 entries), or is just deleting the first year sufficient?

The player would be gone and will not import again.

I think you could this by just deleting the single player record from "master.csv". Try it (with a backup) and see.

Yes removing them from the master.csv file will make them not import. Then you dont have to mess around with the batting, pitching, or fielding files
