You may ask MR. Wolf any addition or follow-up questions just don't invade his privacy and be respectfu.


When and what version did you start playing OOTP?

6.5, and what an awesome version it was!

What's the feature of the game you love most?

The DIPS-based game engine.

What's your favorite baseball team (any league)?

Texas Rangers. But I greatly admire what they are doing with the Red Sox and the A's.

How old you?

Thirties.

Where are you originally from?

The Mescalero Apache Reservation. That's near Ruidoso in New Mexico.

Are you a family man?

Married, no children.

What do you for a living?

Consulting engineer. I get paid to solve problems and give advice. Life is good.

Besides OOTP do you have any other hobbies or interests?

I'm in a local soccer league, I hunt when I can, and I am a big history buff.

Your go-to baseball movie?

Tied between Major League and For Love Of The Game, for different reasons.

You have about 8,500 post been thanks almost 2,000 times why are you so social and popular here? And are you this social in person would you say?

I am far, far more social and friendly in person. I talk to everyone, have friends everywhere and I go to a lot of parties and host at least one a week.

If the OOTP team asked you be a consultant what will you change, add or remove for new version of the game?

I would design a fully functional spring training and winter league system, add the ability to save and load lineups, and fix the tiebreaker problem.

Baseball is called "America's Past Time" sadly the last decade or so baseball has taken a back seat to the NBA and NFL why do you think that is and your feelings on the current state of MLB?

I blame ESPN's deliberate deprioritization of baseball for that. If you look at the hard data, like attendance, baseball is just as popular as ever.

Is there any other game or show your currently enjoying you would like to let us know about?

FM, MLB The Show, and, believe it or not, Skyrim (well, at least until I took an arrow to the knee)
