I downloaded the LINUX OOTP9 file "ootp9linuxinstall.tar.gz," extracted it to my desktop, but cannot proceed further.
In the "OOTPBaseballInstaller" folder, there is a file "LinuxInstaller" and a "Data" folder. In the "Data" folder there is a "installer.pkg" file. Double-clicking on any and all of these does nothing. Please help!

Right, I would say you prob have dependency issues. It happens when you dont have the right software (or versions of software) installed on your system to allow the application to run. Its one of the biggest drawbacks of having such a wide range of Linux distros/versions out there. If you are familiar with MS Windows, its the same as not having the right DLL's on your system.
The first thing you need to do it find out what is missing. The best way to do this is to open a shell (command prompt). Move into the OOTPBaseballInstaller folder and type ./LinuxInstaller
You should see an error along the lines of "Unable to open shared library xxx". The xxx will be the name of the missing software you need to install. Go to your distro package manager and install the missing software package and try again.
Once you have all the needed software installed the installer will open a window and you simply follow the on-screen instructions.
