Player info scraping #53

Open airhorns opened 3 months ago

This adds a helper function for pulling in the player info for a given player id. Annoyingly, the PBPs from ESPN don't have player ids on them, and use full names, whereas the boxscores do have player ids on them, but use abbreviated names, so if you want to join the two you need to fetch this player info to get the full name for a player id. Yeesh.
