Quick answer - create a small fictional league and dive in. Get to know the game. I'd say you're quite knowledgeable when it comes to baseball, so start small, learn the different features of managing/GM'ing and general looking after of your organization.

I also strongly recommend doing what most newbies to the game don't do - Click on every menu and every option to see what it does and look at all the different reports, etc etc. This game is deep, very deep. If you don't explore it, you'll miss out on a lot of great features.

Post questions here as you go - tons of helpful people on these boards.

AND - while you're waiting download the Demo of 14 and play around a bit to get a feel for the game and it's nuances.

Happy OOTPing and welcome aboard.
