The fact is there is no concrete proof that this effects attendance or not, and since that's the case it shouldn't be represented. Almost everything that effects anything in ootp has been proven to exist except the "clutch" factor, which as you can see is not in this game. As a matter of fact in the mid nineties when the Twins were struggling we signed Paul Moliter and it did nothing to attendance.

So you're going to sit there and tell me if a team like the Royals were to be able to trade for or sign a player like Barry Bonds or Derrick Jeter, that you think their attendance wouldn't go up win or lose? Come on.
