So my first season has come and gone in OOTP and for some reason with my players.dat being set to 0kb, so has my first league. I have learned alot during my first season and it has hopefully helped me draft a better team for my new league, but before I move forward I want to take a look back and remember my first league that will always have a special place in my heart. I am finding this oh so very heard, and when my fiancee looks at me and says "it's only a game" she doesn't understand this is worse then a breakup you have no choice over(OK, but not her tho). It feels like someone has torn my heart out and stomped all over it!

And now just a moment of silence as I remember some of my special players.

Not much needs to be said about my first pick RF, R. Hadnot, he lived up to his hype with 30 Hr's, 113 RBI's and a .317 average. He was a great contibutor and was destined for the HOF.

William Bilsilki was my aging center fielder, so he ratings dropped rather quickly through the season but his stats and heart were incredible.

My shortstop was supposed to be my great lead off hitter, but after three months of misery, I dropped him to 9th where he went on fire finishing the season with almost 20 Hr's and 70RBI. I can't help but wonder what next season would have brought.

My #1 SP, O. Kim was very solid with his 3.00 ERA and 18 wins, I know a Cy Young was destined for him down the line. He was a true anchor of my staff.

I would like to remember one last player, a very special middle reliever. It didn't matter at the end of April his E.R.A. was in the 20.00's, he shut down the league the rest of the year and by seasons end lowered his E.R.A. into the 2.00's. Ronald Brassfield, we'll remember you too.

I now find myself asking if I'll ever be able to learn another team, For it seems like only yesterday I was wondering if I would ever be able to learn a fictional computer baseball team, and now not only did I learn them, they became me. I will try to put this team behind me and move forward now.

Thanks for listening,

TM
