[Cardinal Rule]

Count me as one who would be interested - I live in Omaha and have been going to the CWS since the early 80's. 1991 was the best for me because the hometown Creighton Bluejays made it under the guidance of the now-Cubbies-GM Jim Hendry. I remember when it used to be a true double-elimination tournament and had to be 'compromised' to fit with network TV so they wouldn't have to wait and see whether you needed two games between the bracket winners.

We love LSU fans and their 'Geaux Tigers' placards and purple hats. we miss Ron Fraser just like the rest of the Hurricane family does, and remember seeing such memorable CWS participants as Deion Sanders, as well as the two most memorable moments in CWS history to me - the fake hidden ball trick in the 1982 Miami/Wichita State game, and Warren Morris' dramatic ninth-inning, two-out homer to beat Miami. Oh yeah - Morris hadn't hit a homer all season before that moment.

As for using the OOTP engine, it'd be cool and might not take a ton of work to make the necessary changes. I'd love it as an add-on that you'd have to pay for. But I'm thinking we're probably in the vast minority...
