Yes, that's what I was trying to hint at - changing one of the LAA would be the easiest way to go.
I assume the Lahman database will have the same issue?
THANKS,
Kevin

We should definitely change one of the LAA. That shouldn't have happened.
Key changes are problematic. As a general rule, any key changes need to
be announced, so that the users can make the necessary modifications in
their own programs, if needed.
