Thanks for recommending that Stealing Home. I'm really enjoying the archive. And unlike most other sports podcasts, it's really about the history or at least general topics that are timeless. No "what did you think of what happened this past week" or "make a prediction for the next thing to happen." It almost has a public radio, Radiolab-ish vibe to the production and presentation.

Also, listening to this month's Effectively Wild (which is very time sensitive) really makes me want to try picking a random MLB team on OOTP and give it a try. I mean, I *always* play as either "my team", the team I've rooted for my whole life, or the local Major League team whose market I currently live in. I have emotional ties to those teams, so managing them appeals to me. But hearing about "the state of the team", the direction all these different MLB teams are going makes me want to see if I can try my hand at something new and different....a White Sox, a Twins, a Pirates, a Cubs....teams that have never been in my orbit of interest before....
