You might want to pay particular attention to the 1949 World Series.... Red Barber and Mel Allen.
The 1951 NL playoff game (Dodgers vs Giants... you know the one; its THE playoff game) is a good one too. |
I've got recordings - or bits of - the 1936, 47, 49, 51, 56, 57, 59, 60, 61, 64, 67, 68, 71, 75, 77, 82, 85, 87 World Series, plus a few gigs of random innings, games and clips from the last 50+ years.
That isn't what is going to make OOTP's PbP better.
What will make it better is:
- Getting hard-coded items either removed or fixed so that they better fit the overall scheme of the PbP
- Getting the PbP to flow properly and run through sequences of events in a manner which makes sense and reads more like traditional play-by-play, which is more of a
coding problem than a
writing problem
- If OOTP is ever to have PbP that recognizes ballpark quirks or other unusual, colorful, items, Markus is going to have to devote time to coding those possibilities in.
An '04 model just is not going to run on a '54 engine.
