Ugh, let me check when I get home and I will clear this up. For some reason, I think Baker may have been dealt to the Cubs. Aaron played in 112 games in 1974, so OOTP pretty much has him on pace for reality. The main issue is the fact that the game doesn't recognize the significance of 714, nor does it acknowledge the record in any way, shape or form. No news story for 714 or 715. So, that being the case, I don't see how the AI would even know to play Aaron like a real manager would. That beings said, I'm not sure if a game could even be programmed to deal with that type of thing. In some cases, I'm not even sure I would want it to.
