II. Introduction
****************************************************************************
Hey everyone. In MVP Baseball 2004, EA Sports included two teams that had a
number of hall of fame players from the past such as Babe Ruth, Cy Young,
etc.
that you could play as. But EA was only able to include 50 players into the
game, so of course there were many great players from the past that were left
out. This FAQ was made to help you create and add in some of the legends that
weren't included in the game. Not all of the players in this FAQ are hall of
fame legends, some are just very good players and fan favorites.
The whole idea to create these legends was started at the PS2 - MVP Baseball
2004 message board on GameFAQs. There was a topic started there and a handful
of posters were kind enough to create these legends and post them for
everyone
to use. So this FAQ is basically a collection of everyone's work over at that
message board. You'll see the name of the poster who created each legend next
to the player's name.
If there's a player that you want to see created or better yet, if you want
to
make one of your own and post it for everyone to use, then stop by the MVP
Baseball 2004 (PS2) message board and look for the "Create A Legend" topic
that
was started by Pez Dispenser and post your creation in there. I'll even
include
it in future updates of this FAQ if you'd like. Thanks to everyone that has
contributed players so far and enjoy.

The game won't let you use spaces for the first name, so I just put his name
as "CoolPapa". You could use either Papa or James (his real name) as his
first
