Help with errors after importing "atbats" and "pitches" csv files into retrosheet database using Sequel Pro

[LeeZee1]

Hi John
Thank you for your script on how scrape the MLB pitch-specific data into a format I can use for my MySQL retrosheet database. I’ve been looking for a reliable way to do this for some time, and am happy I came across your instructions. Your script worked for me to create the two csv files. I used your "mysql_table_creator.sql" file to create the tables "atbats" and "pitches" in my retrosheet database; In particular, I imported the file from within Sequel Pro. Once the tables were created, I was also able to import the .csv files into their respective tables in the database using Sequel Pro. However, I wonder if you can help me with the following errors that I get once it finishes importing:

Is there something I need to change in your "mysql_table_creator.sql" file to not get the errors?

Thank you in advance.
