After converting to OOTP5, I discovered, much to my horror, that there is no provision to cut/paste box scores....and I have yet to figure out how to archive a player in any usable format to place on this board.

I am left with the only option to manually transcribe each result. You can see how abysmal the recent results have been.

There is no way I am prepared to do that for the last 100 or so starts in his career.

Compounding the problem, towards the end of the previous year, I renamed the retired file, to check on current leaders. I neglected to change it back before converting to OOTP5. I lost the entire retired history of my 36 year old league. Major bummer.

For the Bubba fans out there, I am in the process of finishing his career.

I will post the final results in the next week.

It is (in Bubba's universe) now 1941.

Amazing happenings over the last 4 years.

I will finish his career, and, if I may indulge myself a little bit, also create a suitable completion to the story.

I have had an enormous amount of fun with Bubba, and I will likely attempt another history, but with a different era and background.

The writing bug has bit a little bit, and I have been blocking out/writing a novel. This is something I have pondered for many, many years. I have been spending quite a large percentage of my free time with this......greatly encouraged by the support and kind words from fans of Bubba and this story.

I apologize for just dropping the story, I am close to completing it.
