Montreal Expos, Building a dynasty

AESP_pres · 03-25-2017, 11:37 AM

I wanted a change of pace from the usual way I play the game since 2007. So I've decided to build an alternative history of my all-time favorite team from day one.

The simulation will be done with OOTP 17 with the full historical mode including the minor league database and I play all the games. When a player facegen appear it's my works.

Hope you'll appreciate this

April was not an easy month, but we played better than Kansas City and Seatle... also we aren't last in our division (5th).

Jim O'Toole was fired in april after he refused a demotion to the minor league.

FG: Roberto Pena, George Spriggs, Tommie Aaron, Gil Blanco and Jim Bouton.
