Player Google Sheet Updated for All-Time Great Teams

Our original 60 all-time great teams have now all played at least one game, and you can still find all players, instructions and results on this google sheet.

In the 30 games between aces of two of the teams, the calibration showed we were getting almost one hit less per game per team than should be accurate. To fix this we have added two singles to only the PITCHERS' CARDS which are now reflected on the google doc above, but not yet on the PDFs which we will adjust.

As a result of being about one hit short, teams were averaging 2.9 runs per game in those games and even in a game between aces that should be slightly higher, so will be fixed by this adjustment. If you already printed the PDFs of teams you can just add 2 to each pitcher's highest single number remembering to skip any number that ends in a 9 or 0 since it is a base 8 system. 

So if it now says the highest single is a 16, make it 18 - if it says 17 make it 21 - if it says 18 make it 22 etc.

Half the teams also had their No. 4 starters face off and in those 15 games the average score was 4.7, so the overall runs per game will increase as we now have all non-aces pitching plus the two extra hits on the card should give each team an average of 1 extra hit per game. We have played two games using this adjustment, and in one game a team got 2 extra hits, in another game 1 extra hit, and the other two teams had no extra hits.

Also corrected on the google sheet were several pitcher at bat team cards. In a few occasions we accidentally had listed a "19" as a deep drive, and that number does not exist in the base-8 game so those were all changed to 21 on the google sheet and will be on the PDFs later.

Also we had left off the pitcher at bat card for the 1968 Detroit Tigers and 1988 Los Angeles Dodgers, so those are both added.

Finally we fixed Josh Hader to LHP - showing he is a left-handed pitcher - since he had been listed as RHP accidentally.
