Some more interesting stories are developing as I progress.

The previously mentioned undefeated team went 8-0 before dropping their first game. (1985 Royals) Surprisingly, their star closer (Quisenberry) cost them the game in extra innings. They wound up losing two in a row, both in extras. They are now 2-3 since ending the streak.

Two players have hit safely in all 13 game so far.('86 Jim Rice and '87 Lou Whitaker) Another hit safely in the first 12.('87 Vince Coleman) Care to take a guess?

One future HOFer jumped out to a decided advantage early in the MVP race but has cooled off a bit gong 2-for-11 in his last three games. ('85 Brett)

There are currently three teams sitting at 10 wins, two from the same franchise. ('86 and '88 Mets and '85 Royals) One team sits with 10 losses already.('87 Twins) Can you guess the franchise and the 10 loss team?

Three pitchers are 3-0 already. One has a sub 2.00 ERA, the other is in the 2.00's and the other in the 3.00's. One of them is actually on a losing team and has accounted for half of his team's wins. ('86 Clemens 3-0 1.21, '85 Danny Jackson 3-0 3.24 and '87 Greg Matthews 3-0 2.35) '80 Gaylord Perry was also 3-0 with a 3.97

The previously mentioned pitcher who started out 2-0 with two CG shutouts gave up four runs on 13 hits in his next start. Whitson

There has been one 10 strikeout performance by a pitcher already. It is not a surprise but it is not who you think... ('88 David Cone)

There have been two five hit games already but neither hit for the cycle. ('82 Cecil Cooper and '86 Bill Buckner)

One player who appears in the game on two different teams, occupies the top two spots in the OSA top 20 batters rankings. Know who it is? ('80 and '85 George Brett)

Four players (two hitter and two pitchers) have two versions of themselves listed among the top 20 batters or pitchers. (That should be pretty easy to guess) (George Brett, Darryl Strawberry, Fernando Valenzuela and Dwight Gooden)

Ok, so that wraps up the week 2 teaser. Still a day or so left to make your predictions. I'm leaning towards a baseball card package including, but not limited to, some of the top players in this sim. If I can find a couple of rookie cards of these guys to throw in, I will.

Good luck!
