Mantle and Mays respectively have been in those two drafts, so yes, you know what that means for their OF. Sh!t's gonna get crazy out there.

The 1901 draft was insanely good. 82 players selected, first round:

1. Mickey Mantle, SLA
2. Frank Viola, PHI
3. Jesse Barfield, BLA
4. Carlos Delgado, BSN
5. Mario Soto, CLE
6. George W Harper, NY1
7. George Case, CIN
8. Jim Essian, BRO
9. Al Holland, BOS
10. Ossie Vitt, WS1
11. Claro Duany (Negro Leaguer), STL
12. Dave LaPoint, PHA
13. Mike Mason, DET
14. Lew McCarty, PIT
15. David Green, CWS
16. Dick Kelley, CHC

You have to go all the way to the 9th pick of the 2nd round to find your first one star potential guy, and the 13th pick of the 2nd round to get your first half star potential guy. I don't think I've ever seen a better draft in all the time I've been playing this game.
Really hoping Real Time Sim allows me to play through seasons quicker, but still enjoy some of the things that make me love OOTP so much. Would love it if I could maybe get in 2 or 3 seasons a week with this method.
