Both are in the db as Caucasian, but both appear with the same African facegen. I don't know the historic facegens that well (I just take whatever shows up...), but are they mixed up with the Dodger's manager Dave Roberts?

I tried to regenerate the pic, but they don't really change (that I can tell).

The player IDs all appear to be correct when checked on BB-Ref.

Manager facegens use First_Last.fg so the fix is for AESP or I to make a facegen that uses the 70's player's Minor League Historical ID and then that will load first.

Try those two to see if they work for you. I think you can pick the FG you want if you use the picture function menu.

Thank you, both!

Just a fast observation as I see that often in the Facial type categorization in the game: People from Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Bahamas aren't of hispanic decent they are of African descent. Those countries were not Spanish colony they were English one.

Mark Fanderburk (funder001mar) is listed with a Caucasian facial type, he is African American.

Negro Leaguer and member of the Salón de la Fama Mario Ariosa (ariosma01 / ariosa001mar) is listed with the nickname "Homero" in the database. I can't find any source for this nickname, but Seamheads lists Homero as the name of his brother, so perhaps there's some confusion there. Also, Spanish-language Wikipedia lists his death date as 1-20-1992.

Mike Patterson (patter003mic) is listed with a Caucasian facial type, he is African American.
