In Pursit of 900 walks
Last season my Sodor Tank Engines (set up to entice my 4-year old grandson into playing beyond pack openings) got 828 walks. The all-time record is 847 by Boston in 1947 (or 1949, I can't remember).
This year I replaced Earl "The Pinch Walker" Torgeson with Joey Votto and got up to 858 walks. So I beat the all-time record and of course got nothing for that momentous achievement.
My pitchers only allowed 387 free passes, so I was close to +500 for the season. We had 944 runs scored--first, while being 14th in HRs.
I'm not sure there is anything I can do to get 42 more walks next season because the OOTP engine is not going to create any more walks and I'm at about the limits of snagging walks for me.
Any suggestions?
