I appreciate you responding to my popular demand. I only found out about OOTP about a month ago. I was looking for the newest version of baseball mogul and saw season tickey baseball on the shelf beside it. So instead of buying Mogul, I went home and did some internet research on what Season Ticket Baseball was. Of course then came the confusing period of figuring out the connection between STB and OOTP, but as soon as I figured it out and realized that OOTP could simply be downloaded and purchased off the net, I was on my way.

Whenever I get a game, my next step is always finding the definitive message board for it. Finally ended up here and started learning all I could about the game as well as tried to iron out some bugs (I have learned that OOTP cannot be run with any other programs running without crashing, which I find annoying but tolerable).

Eventually, I looked at the Dynasty Reports and was immediately hooked on yours. The reason yours was the best was (a) your writing style and (b) your commitment. So many people start a dynasty report and then stop it after a couple of years. You have done yours for a whole century of sims, so it has a certain epic scope that none other does. Who cares who the all-time home run leader is if you've simmed 2 seasons? But it's fascinating if you've simmed from the beginning of the modern era of baseball.

Anyway, just wanted you to know that these dynasty reports aren't a tree falling with no one to hear it. I read them all and check this site daily for your updates. And, as I said before, the 80's are sort of my formitive baseball period, so I'm psyched to see how things went.
