I agree, I've been thinking in terms of examples like this one.

This morning I submitted the following to Bill Carle and Pete Palmer:
Bill - when inputting 2005 debuts into my database, it occurred to me that it might be helpful to also include the states (or territories) in similar fashion as what was recently added for Mexico. It's a pretty simple exercise.

*there are two cities in Australia named Blackwood; one in Victoria and one in South Australia. I'm assuming that Prokopec was born in South Australia, as the 2005 Reds media guide lists his current residence as Renmark, which is in South Australia.
Also, please note that SABR BioComm show Cairncross POB = Cairns while bbdb lists Queensland.
Also Lloyd DOB = Geelong while bbdb has Victoria.
