First off we imported the game from OOTP 19 to OOTP 20 to take advantage of the new animations. Not sure if it's a bug or what but there was an INSANE amount of steal attempts. Our Phillies ran ourselves out of innings routinely. The New York Highlanders also to a lesser extent as they has some pretty fast lads.
They definitely had the hitters but we had the pitching with two former Cy Young winners Noodles Hahn and Doc White. Our third starter was injured for the series, Al Orth. Happy Townsend was promoted by the manager to the three man playoff rotation.
Game 1:
Noodles Hahn got ambushed in the first inning as the Highlanders took it 4-2
Game 2:
Phillies come back with a win 7-3 with Doc White on the hill.
Game 3:
Phillies take game 3 9-8 with reliever Red Donahue getting the win.
Game 4:
Phillies win 2-0 on a 3 hit shutout powered by Noodles Hahn.
Game 5:
With the series in their grasp and winning 8-1 in the bottom of the 9th, the highlanders score 8 f'ing runs in the bottom of the 9th to win the game and stay alive. It was unbelievable. The manager left Doc White in the whole inning. We were bummed.
Game 6:
With a 4-2 lead going in to the top of the 8th the Highlanders scored 2 in the 8th and 1 in the 9th to win and force game 7.
Game 7:
With a 4-2 lead going into the bottom of the 8th the Phillies scored 5 runs off Highlanders Jim Buchanan and hold on to win the 1905 world series, the second title in our six years as general manager of Phillies.
As a side note it seems Ed Delahanty is pretty much shot but we drafted Hal Chase last year to take over first base.
Sorry for the long non-PT related post.

Man I am so jealous of you two. I had a friend when I lived in California who also loved to play these sim baseball games and we would get together on a Saturday nights and play all night. We were both so in to it. (We also had a basketball simleague together) Now I live in NY and have to go online to find people who are in to it. It is so cool when you have a couple of guys because your interest rubs off and makes the experience super. I miss that...
