Should have asked this before - is there to be an All-Star Break at any point?

The easiest solution by far is the balanced 312 games, so I am strongly leaning that way though I will think about a way to try to coax out the shorter 304 games. Those two fit perfectly with all even 4-game series & even home/away, and 4-game series line up with your Sun/Mon*2/Tue & Thu/Fri*2/Sat layout.

The 312 games, an All-Star Break for half a week, and starting as late as Feb 11 (to keep the layout for the days of the week it would be set to start on the first Thursday on or after Feb 5) could run the season as late as about Nov 13 or 14. Figuring up to about 10 days of playoffs for a 7-game series, I would guess that is still okay.

I meant to ask this before since this schedule made me wonder about it. At least through OOTP2006 the database only allowed RBI to go up to 255 after which #256 would reset the value to zero. I was out of the loop on the game for a while - has that been changed with OOTP2007/OOTP8?
