I'm going to attempt to recreate this.
1) I'm using
this quickstart.
2) I created a manager.
3) I found a job as GM of the Charleston RiverDogs
4) Simulated until "Playoffs Begin"
5) Stopped auto-play when I noticed my manager named got screwed up. Instead of "Tim" it changed to o (with a ^ over it) and a capital X. Last named remained unchanged.
6) Continued simming as I wasn't testing that...
7) Realized I can't offer extensions in the minor leagues.
8) Resigned as manager to make it go by quicker.
9) Simmed a year hoping to get a major league offer.
10) Attempted to go to look at the Major League standings page...Error. Game quit...
Huh

. I'll have to reattempt to recreate it because of this
