So if OOTP comes close I have no regrets for leaving DMB; I think I have found something far better.

With the new 19th century support, I intend to start a replay in either 1871 or 1876, using the actual starting pitchers for each game (available from Retrosheet), an as-played schedule (which I'll have to do manually), and the batting orders used by each team. Other than lineups on Retrosheet for 1872 and 1874, real life lineups aren't available until 1886, unless you have access to the Boston Globe archives through Proquest. I believe that replay will be possible with OOTP9 using the recalc option.
