So....where does every OOTP fan live ? - Page 3

comedian2019 · 02-24-2021, 08:55 AM

Saint Cloud Florida. 30 minutes from Disney. I was born, raised and got the hell out of Michigan. Southgate, 30 minutes from Detroit. Great place to grow up in, no so good as an adult.

I am 63 and have now lived in Florida over half my life.

Lots of medical issues for me. I have an LVAD (artificial heart pump), but I do not let it slow me down. Well, it puts me in the hospital now and then, but the pretty nurses love me.

I plan on living forever and so far it has worked out. This is the oldest I have ever been. Visit my website for laughs at www.larrysuperman.com

Omaha now. Born and raised in Cornhusker state, but have lived in Tampa, Austin and Southern Maryland. Started with OOTP 13 I think. I have bought every year since 16.

Strictly do fictional universe starting in 1890 with 2 leagues and 8 teams each to expand to 2020 with 1 US major league with 48 teams, 9 international leagues, 1 NCAA Div 1A league with 162 teams, 1 NCAA Div 1AA league and an NAIA league. All with as best I could find/create era-specific logos and uniforms.

Born in Salinas, CA .... spent 2 years in Turlock,CA going to college and then moved to Oregon (Eugene) due to death in wife's family and inheriting 2 (very rotten) teenagers - long story and none of it by design - but hey - life is like that. Huge SF Giants fan - as my grandfather took me to a game every year (62-66) before he died - and then i went each year on my own (in his memory) until i went off to college in Cal-State Stanislaus in '70. Saw some really great players back then - but best game ever was the Spahn-Maricial 16 inning marathon. And dang - it was cold that night. 1-0 - both pitchers a complete game. Wonder what the pitch count was?

Grayling, MI. We're graced with not only the world famous AuSable River, but also the Manistee River. Trout fishing, deer hunting, trails, logging, a large National Guard base, Goodale's Bakery, and a safe place to live.

Various parts of Northern California since the 80s where I adopted the Giants but I grew up almost walking distance from watching the Mets at Shea, the Amazin's retain a firm hold on my heart despite much disappointment.

Born in Cleveland, lived in California during the PCL's golden years, now live in Akron, Ohio. Cleveland Indians (soon to be something else), Hollywood Stars, and Akron Rubberducks my teams.

PS: I HATE the Rubberduck's nickname.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Grew up an Expos fan, switched allegiance to the Jays when they moved. Have attended games in LA (Angels Stadium), Seattle (Safeco), Toronto (Exhibition & SkyDome) and Minneapolis (Metrodome).

I am from Krakow, Poland. I am probably the only Pole here.

Splitting time between Houston and Austin. A fan since the beginning of those low-down, cheatin', dirty dealin' Astros.

Owned every OOTP version and attended the first game at all three venues and the last one in the Dome. Have no recollection of the one at Colt stadium, I was four, but I'm told that the mosquitos were as big as "polo ponies".

Sizeman21 · 02-24-2021, 03:54 PM

Born and raised in St. Louis. Proud Cardinals and Blues fan, pending STLFC fan. Proud to live in such a baseball loving city.

Pleasant Valley, NY... which is about halfway between New York City and Albany

One of those little towns that like to roll up the sidewalks at about 10pm, especially since the beginning of the pandemic.

Laurelton in NYC. It's been moved around a bit by the powers that be since we lost our post office to Burger King in a real estate bidding war back in the mid 70s and it ended up in Springfield Gardens. I know where it really is though so

to the powers that be.
Some of our more well known native sons - Derek & Ronnie Harmon who played for 49er's and Bills/Chargers respectively. Played Little League baseball w/Derek and touch football on 131st Ave with Ronnie who used the same moves on us that he used in the NFL

. Sam DeLuca who played for the Jets in the 1970s. Marcus Jansen, Hettie Jones, Neil Leifer, David Bergman and Winston Rodney are a few of the talents that expressed themselves in the arts, literature & music. And a couple of our more infamous ones... Bernie & Ruth Madoff, Meir Kahane.

Our Ausable River (aka AuSable & Au Sable) is more famous than yours.
