Issue with Query (Adding Columns)

Question

Oracle: 10g
I have the following query:
select league_name, moniker, last_name, team_id, team_name, count(1) as Duplicates
from (
  select players.league_name, players.moniker, players.last_name, players.player_id, players.team_id, players.team_name
  from  customer_data.cd_soccer_players players,
      select distinct league_id, player_id
      from (
        select league_id, player_id
        from customer_data.cd_soccer_ytd_player_stats ps
        where league_id in (22,64,39,80,49,51,58,140,54,135)
          and ps.season in (2008,2009)
        union
        select league_id, player_id
        from customer_data.cd_soccer_players pl
        where league_id in (22,64,39,80,49,51,58,140,54,135)
          and status='Y'
    ) player_universe
  where player_universe.player_id = players.player_id
    and player_universe.league_id = players.league_id
  order by last_name
group by league_name, moniker, last_name, team_id, team_name
having count(1) > 1
order by league_name, team_name, last_nameI'm trying to have the query include the column "player_id" in the output. The issue that I'm having is that if I add the player_id column at the top of the query I have to add it to the group by statement and if that happens I end up getting zero results back (w/out the column there I get back 9 results). Currently none of the player_ids have the same value which is why the get eliminated when I add the player_id to the group by clause. Is there anyway to tweak the query so I add player_id to the output w/out losing the integrity of the data?

I actually ended up finding a solution....this basically does the trick. If anyone has any better ways feel free to share.
