The player tables have been checked against each other. I'm fairly
confident that we don't have any stint errors between fielding and
batting and pitching tables. I've fixed a couple of the ones you sent
me regarding the managers.

My school year ends this week, so I should be able to update the BDB
more often this summer and hopefully implement a system that keeps one
person from being the bottleneck for corrections and updates.
