I made a dumb mistake and accidentally deleted my random debut game... I had forgot to give it a unique name, so when I saw "New Game1" in the list.. I just assumed it was the test league I made to goof around with player creation modifiers... and I nuked it. then about 7 seconds later I saw "test league" listed right underneath... Oh well, just went ahead and started a new one...

My favorite part of this is reading up on old timey players that I've never heard of. My first round pick was Pete Conway. He was a dead-ball era pitcher who will probably take a hit at the 3-year recalc, but was too good to pass up. In 1888 he had a record of 30-14... Exactly 80 years later, Denny McClain was the next pitcher to win 30 games... Both guys did it for a Detroit franchise (Conway for the Wolverines of the NL). Conway was also the first paid head coach for the University of Michigan baseball team. Still don't know the cause, but he died young at the age of 36.

I also drafted two guys that are apparently two of the greatest Jewish pitchers in history (Scott Radinisky and Erstine Meyer). I didn't know such lists were kept, but I'm not Jewish either...

I'm having just as much fun browsing the wikipedia pages of these guys as I am guiding them through the OOTP season.
