I played Sports Illustrated as well and also played some game that had a bunch of old timers in it from different eras. Cobb, Medwick, Dean, Ruth, Gehrig, etc. I can't remember exactly what that was.

Yep, that's the one. I had the early version, about 1972 - 1974, then my friend bought the newer edition a couple years later.
Yes, the baord had a generic field layout, then there were sheets with all the ballparks' fence dimensions.
One thing about playing those oldtime games, you learned how to keep score and record stats. Too aesy for kids these days.
(jeez, I'm getting old)
My 12 year old would love to play in an OOTP online league, but I told him all the old guys don't need some smartass kid talking trash. He kicks butt with his 1920's - 30's historical Dodgers team in the solo version.
