Cuban Baseball--Updated 6-25-09--These photos accompany the 2007-09 Cuban Baseball sets created by Len Durrant and Gary Simonds.

Negro Leagues--updated 10/11/09--This set includes the players featured in the Negro League set. Also included are any players that I could find from Fred Bobberts' 1930 Negro National League that is available on Gary Simonds' site, in addition to the teams created by Len Durrant. More players will be added as I find the pictures.
Note--If a picture is not showing as it should, check whether there is an unnecessary space at the end of the player's name on the roster. Also, some of these players have the same name as a player on an existing roster--you will need lines in the alias file to have these pictures display.

If you are using the Negro League set from Strat-O-Matic Game Company, you should add the following lines to your alias file.
b,Larry Brown,2001,NEG,Larry Brown Negro Leagues
b,Willard Brown,2001,NEG,Willard Brown Negro Leagues
b,John Donaldson,2001,NEG,John Donaldson Negro Leagues

Even More Negro League Players--uploaded 9-6-09--I can't think of any reason to download this set in terms of Strat-O-Matic Baseball. I don't think that adds any players who have ever been released in any official or homemade Negro League set. Many pictures are duplications of those in the above Negro League sets.

Japanese Players--updated 3-7-09--Check back, because I have a large set of pictures (modern players) that I haven't gotten around to sorting.

For player pictures: 1) Unzip the batters file. 2.) Copy the pictures of the batters. 3. Open the batters folder which is found in CDROMBB/Player/Batter. 4. Paste the PICTURES of the batters into this folder. Do not paste the FOLDER into the folder--the pictures must be copied and pasted. 5. Repeat this procedure for the pitchers.

For the alias file: 1. Copy the lines of the alias file. 2. Open the alias file found in CDROMBB/Player. 3. Copy the lines from my alias file into your alias file.
It is important to note that you may not have blank lines between the lines of an alias file. As is the case with most commands given to a computer, the machine is unforgiving--everything must be perfect.

There is a switch in the game that must be turned on in order for the pictures to appear. It is located in the setting for the ballpark.

1887--uploaded 2-27-08--These are mostly the black-and-white Old Judge cards. Unless you really want these cards, you are better off using the 19th Century set above.

1920--updated 11-4-09--The W series cards are in color, but some don't have very good pictures. I've included another card option for most of these players. Use Word Pad (or another text editor) to edit the alias file if you prefer a different card or picture.

1924--updated 11-4-09--Keep in mind that the cards in the 1920s weren't particularly attractive. If you want the best available picture, you would be better served by downloading Steve Braccini's face pack.

Steve Braccini has created some season-specific face packs. I'll post them here as they become available--at least until I run out of space to do so. It should be noted that there are no alias files for Steve's face packs. One possible use of these files is to download the file for the season that you are playing. When you finish that season and begin another, download the file for the new season and overwrite the pictures from your past replay. In this way, your pictures will always correspond to your current replay.

Many thanks to Steve for making these files available to us.
