I am sure if every baseball player who ever played the game, alive or gone, could get another chance at an atbat, a defensive play, or a season, they would jump at the chance. The game gives us a special feeling of youth and hope, and thats a great part of the joy of OOTP, bringing the names and the teams back to try again.

So in my mind I see the baseball Gods picking two teams out of many and giving them the chance to play again. Kind of a field of dreams that I am sure every player would jump at the chance at.

Here is to W.P. Kinsella, who passed away just a few weeks ago.

I also love the randomness of any match up and being able to pick a team from history and actually study it to see how good or bad they really were. Most of the time that is what I do on my free time, just pick two teams randomly and play out a series, I might as well post the results.

In this thread I will simply take every team in MLB history and randomly pick two for seven games series. We may see upsets or great performances, but the matchups should be interesting in any event.

I will keep track of the winners and theoretically I will do something with the winners and keep playing but lets get started and see what happens.

All series will be best of seven, and stats and recaps as well as MVP's will be posted.
