KJOK mentioned in a post in this group, probably over a year ago,
(that I can't seem to find right now... we were discussing proofing,
and sources, etc) that he used several sources. The only one I
remembered was ballparks.com. I don't think his DB been
independently reviewed.

In the BDBDesign group, we made a couple of remarks a long while ago
that the design should have some sort of flag to denote proofing (at
the player, team, or season level). That sounds like a huge effort
for the core BDB tables, but I think this kind of concept might make
some sense insofar as the PARKS table is concerned. Say, you create
a SOURCES table and PARKSOURCES XREF table, which links to each
record in the PARKSCONFIG table, and lists the particular SOURCE
record.
