Field of Dreams — All the Teams in Baseball History (yes all!)
A Cross-Era Tournament in OOTP 27

Using Out of the Park Baseball, this project brings together legendary teams from every era of the sport — from the Deadball Era through the modern game — and places them into a single elimination tournament to determine which club truly stands above the rest.

And this is not a brand new experiment. Maybe you have been following this already.

Over the course of the project so far, more than 260 series have already been played, producing dramatic upsets, legendary pitching performances, and unforgettable showdowns between baseball icons separated by generations.

With the release of OOTP 27, the tournament continues.

Tournament Concept

The idea is simple:

Take great teams from across baseball history and let them play.

No hypotheticals. No debates. The games are played out on the field.

Every series becomes a clash of eras:

Deadball precision vs modern power.
Hall of Fame pitching vs explosive lineups.
Franchise legends facing opponents they never could in real life.

Babe Ruth might face the Big Red Machine.
Ty Cobb might challenge the Bronx Bombers.
The Boys of Summer might meet the Steroid Era.

This tournament is designed to explore the greatest question in baseball history:

Who really wins when eras collide?

Tournament Format

• Historical teams imported into OOTP
• Series played in neutral historical environments
• Full statistical results recorded
• Series MVPs recognized
• Tournament advances round by round

Every matchup is played out and documented as part of the ongoing chronicle of the tournament.

• 260 completed series
• Hundreds of legendary player performances
• Franchise showdowns spanning over a century of baseball history

Some teams have advanced.

The road to the championship is long, and the surprises continue.

• Game-by-game results
• Key performances and turning points

Think of it as following a historic postseason where every era of baseball is invited.

The Journey Continues

With OOTP 27 now underway, the Field of Dreams tournament moves into its next chapter.

More legendary matchups await.

More debates will be settled on the field.

And somewhere among the surviving teams, one club will ultimately stand as the greatest team in baseball history.
