Last time I checked, my homerun leader all-time was at 718. Single season record was at 56. I'm digging those numbers for sure. At last check (this was in the 80s though...) my all-time wins leader was only 305 though. Only two or three pitchers have ever won 300 games in their career. That's pretty wild but I'm not too bummed about it. Quite a few pitchers have made the HOF due to having 250+ wins and a good ERA.
Overall I'm loving the game, and I'm loving this fictional universe. It's a blast to play and FaceGen really adds a lot to the game. And MidKnight, and everyone who MidKnight used stuff for his file, all your hard work on the hats, team colors, logos, etc is magnificent. It's a truly immersive baseball experience and I haven't had this much fun since OOTP5.

Sweet! Good to hear that things are going well and that you're enjoying it. This was the first OOTP version where I could put enough stuff together to be really happy when I started a league. I love the cool little things, like being able to look back at a Hall of Famer's high school statistics.
I'm in the 13th year of my league now, and the first crop of initial draft players is winding down. I expanded the league in 1907 and took over one of the teams (Philadelphia Hawks) after leading the Admirals to two titles. After years of having a losing team, I took them to the World Series and lost in Game 7. Ah well!
The current homerun leader looks poised to hit about 600 if he stays healthy the rest of his career. The wins leader might hit about 260 before he retires. I'm thinking I might expand the league again in 1920...
