I would want the mistakes correct if I were them. I also wonder why it's always varied from one game to the next over the years. Back when we used to have several games, the jerseys would be different in all of them, sometimes. I'm sure they hold every game to the same standard, wouldn't they? MLB does a lot of silly things sometimes.

It's private because it gives access to art files... MLB has to protect itself against counterfeiters (public art files would allow people to easily create counterfeit fan gear).

But a lot of it is correct. A lot of the errors in last year's game were correct on MLB's part, so it must've just been poor interpretation and integration into the game...

Not saying that you are being dishonest, but how do you know this for sure?

Ugh...well that is disappointing to here. I saw one of the earlier images of '10 w/ David Wright at Yankee Stadium wearing the road grays...with the black helmet.

That's too bad they haven't fixed this year.
