I have using the box score and recaps files to parse the data to produce mdb database files of season data. See links here (http://users.tpg.com.au/21c) for more.
On the box score file, each player is listed by last name which causes some conflict when there are two players on the same team with that name. Is it possible to include a player's initial as well?
So that
CHICAGO ab h bb r hr bi k sb avg
Harris (2B) 4 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 .429
Harris (LF) 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 .294
shows up as
CHICAGO ab h bb r hr bi k sb avg
A. Harris (2B) 4 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 .429
L. Harris (LF) 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 .294
In the same vein, is it possible to include the starting pitcher in the recaps file?
Something like
TOP OF THE FIRST
Randy Johnson is the starting pitcher.
Larry Walker grounded to second. <--->
Much appreciated if this can be done.
