MBL Publishes First League Encyclopedia

For those of you that installed Diamond Mind Baseball Encyclopedia as part of version 9, I have posted a file online containing the final regular season statistics from the 2002-2005 Molson Baseball League seasons. The file itself is almost 10 MB, so plan accordingly. The Encyclopedia will allow you to run career leader reports, career register reports, and several other neat things.

I would like to thank Joe Samocha for providing the databases for 2002, 2003, and 2004. Joe has also given me the old draft matrices which I have now published for your use. Look at the right panel for those links, too, if you dare.

In order to use the Encyclopedia file, right click on the link in this article or at its permanent home on the right panel and download it to your computer. You then must:

1. Create a new encyclopedia, and then
2. Restore the data from your downloaded copy of the MBL2002-2005 Encyclopedia.

If anyone has any other final databases, please let me know. I had to convert the version 8 seasons to version 9 before I could post them, but I now know how to do it. Note that the year is the Molson Baseball League year, e.g. one year after the Major League Baseball stats upon which those player ratings are based.

I hope you enjoy the Encyclopedia file. It took me some time to build it, so please let me know whether it was time well spent.

Happy New Year!

The Commissioner
