If you've never read it, take a moment and do so. It's not that long. To me, it's what this game is all about.

Thanks for bringing this back up, ctorg. Always a great read. This should be an OOTP tradition. Every year on Opening Day (or when the latest version of OOTP is released; whichever comes first) this story should be posted.

OOTP was made to breathe life into Rascoe Barahona.

In my mind, Rasco either retires in anonymity and becomes an assistant baseball coach for some high school in a small town. Of course, the players on the team don't know who he is. They just think he's the assistant coach that tosses batting practice sometimes.
