Kids?

First of all, let me state that I am loving this game. Thanks to Markus and co. and all the beta testers for making this version awesome!!!

Are kids of former players coded into the game? I've noticed that all the sons of dead owners are named Owner Jr. Also, I've noticed players like Bronson Arroyo, Jr. who in 2023 is 27, implying that Bronson Sr. had a kid no one knows about in 1995 at age.........18. Hmmm.... Is this really coded into the game? It's cool, but things don't match up.

I thought this was coded in, but maybe it was just talked about and wasn't actually coded in. I can't remember now. Sorry I'm not much help, but there's a chance it is coded in. I know it was talked about.

Not all of the sons of owners are juniors, though they are all born in the franchise city....

I wondered about this too. I just traded for a Hideki Matsui Jr. Not as good as dad though.

Marsupials do....cause they're fast! Gibson swings, and a fly ball to deep right field! This is gonna be a home run! Unbelievable! A home run for Gibson! And the Dodgers have won the game, 5 to 4; I don't believe what I just saw! I don't believe what I just saw!
