1939 New York Knights Roster Request
 

Was wondering if could someone could do the roster of the 1939 New York Knights from the movie and book, "The Natural", please? Thanks.

Somebody did Hollywood Baseball League for a previous version but might need to be updated to today.

Just saw it after reading your comment, it is really good. And your right, it does need to be updated.

Also converted to this year's version of Game.

Got a link or download for it?

Not me but would like it to.

Hi, I'm new to the forum but have been playing OOTP for a few years.


I have a few of the props from The Natural including scorecards. If all you are asking for is the player names, positions and numbers, I will list them below. I also put the player's first name when known after the scorecard listing.



Here's the Starting Lineup:


4-Bivens, CF
2-Baker, SS (Cal Baker)

5-Benz,3B (Hank Benz)

9-Hobbs, LF (Roy Hobbs)

8-Stubbs, 2B (Allie Stubbs)
12-Laslow, LF (Gabby Laslow)

18-Olsen, C (John Olsen)
6-Lajong, 1B (Emil Lajong)



Here's the Pitchers:


23-Hinkle, P (Tommy Hinkle)

15-Crumrine, P
24-Flores, P (Juan Flores)

27-Fowler, P (Al Fowler)

29-Schultz, P (Dutch Schultz)

25-McGee, RP (Pat McGee)



Here's the Reserves:


7-Bailey, LF (Bartholomew Bailey)

14-Wilbur, CF
16-Hoffarth, C
17-Hernandez, 2B
19-Moon, 2B


Here's the Manager, Coaches and Batboy:



1-Fisher, MGR (Pop Fisher)

22-Blow, COACH (Red Blow)

30-Wilson, 3B COACH (Earl Wilson)

31-Barker, 1B COACH
00-Savoy, BATBOY (Bobby Savoy)


There are many differences between the movie and the book (if you haven't read the book, it's worth it - and completely different in tone and feeling as opposed to the film) as far as player names. For instance Bump Bailey is spelled "BAILEY" in the film but "BAILY" in the book. The "Flores" listed as a pitcher in the move is actually the starting centerfielder in the book, which has a small subplot of him being a Mexican player and feeling like an outsider in 1939 baseball. "Bivens" is the cf in the movie and is not in the novel.

Post it on Mediafire or Dropbox. Or zip just the dats and email it to me. i have all the jerseys for that league already.I would but i dont have that league anymore.

In my ABF League i had put Hobbs & Baily on the Knights.
