1889 AA Long and Tucker Errors

Somehow, Sean S noticed that 1889 Herman Long and 1889 Tommy Tucker literally never walked. Turns out in over 1300 AB's over the past few years, Long and Tucker not only failed to walk one time, they failed to strikeout too.

Their raw stats ended up being spot on, which is likely why no one caught it before hand. It turned out the underlying era for these two players was corrupt, causing players from 1889 AA to have this issue. Luckily, these were the only two chosen by owners in the past.

In order to prove to myself it was the era, I had to run a quick simulation after correcting. Using last years ATB XII database and existing lineups I ran one sim to see if the problem was fixed.

Long: 33 BB and 62 K in 433 AB (.226 / /.281 / .263)
Tucker: 11 BB and 12 K in 93 AB (.344 / .442 / .419)

Tucker has always been a decent backup, he might now be a viable starter at first base. The shortstop long continues to be awful.
