Tehee, a funny turn of events here.

I actually got into OOTP and baseball thanks to FM. I've been playing FM since version 1 pretty much, so I was getting a wee bit bored of playing it. While looking around on the Sports Interactive (FM's publishers) I discovered they also distributed OOTP. I downloaded a demo copy of OOTP8, played around with it with a large degree of bemusement. No idea what was going on and how to play it, but I stuck with it because the game tickled my interest. I started reading and finding out what all those numbers mean and who those players are. And once I got the hang of the stats (sort of..), once I learned about the great players, the great teams and the rich history of the game I never looked back.

I'm now completely addicted. I spend my mornings scouring the various MLB sites to see how the Orioles are doing, my lunchhour taking advantage of my Fangraphs membership and my evenings playing OOTP13.

So thanks FM! Well, I would if I hadn't uninstalled it last year ...
