I apologize if this has been discussed before, but one thing that amazes me, is that OOTP came from the mind of a German. That is not meant to be an ethnic slur (many of my ancestors were German), but I think in Germany you would be hard pressed to find anyone who knew anything about baseball. I might be off on this, but we have a German foreign exchange student with us this year and she assures me that they know baseball like we know cricket.

It took much more than good programming skills to put this sim together. Anyway Markus, thanks for your sim of our sport, I'm having a blast.
