I always smile when I think way back to the first time I put a team into the World Series, still very fresh to this game. This team had barely squeaked in to the playoffs as the Wild Card team and had won each series in thrilling, dramatic fashion, usually losing the first two games and then turning things around.

Well the World Series would be no different and in the 10th inning of the 6th game, down 3 games to 2 and down a run, my pitcher was about to come up to bat with a runner on 2nd and 2 out. I look at my pinch hitters and on a hunch decide to put in my aging catcher who had hit about .200 all year but had a Great clutch rating over a .280 hitting infielder. This guy goes up and hits a 2 run homerun to win the game and I swear I got so caught up in the moment I stood up in my chair and cheered out loud!

I felt like an ass but it was actually thrilling after I had put so much time into playing out almost everyone of this teams games and building it up using Talent-only for ratings and really having no idea what I was doing. The team went on to win game 7 and it was probably the most fun I have had on the computer in one night.
