I don't know, but Ted Williams playing in Philadelphia is a match made in hell.

Small world scott - I'm doing a similar replay as the Orioles and am also in 1955. Neat to see the players on all the different teams (Mantle on the Cubs in your league, but I drafted him with the first overall pick with the Browns a few years back). But we both ended up with Bob Grim.

Unfortunately my O's aren't fairing so well. After winning the AL and blowing a 3-1 World Series lead in our last year in St. Louis, we finished third in 1954 and are in 6th place at the end of June in 1955.

Hope your O's keep winning and that mine start winning!

OOTP has to be kind to the Cubs every now & then, just to keep the Cubs fans coming back.

What I find most funny is that Mantle is on the Cubs and Banks is on Pittsburgh. Scott can you post the Cubs home page?

I find really funny that i'm playing the Cubs... I got bored with the Jays, and Cubs were in last place, with really bad attendance, so I took the challenge.. and it is... people who say this game is too easy need to take a low budget, nasty owner team (ok keep dropping the owner rating but still)...

and in typical Cubs fashion, last time I made the WS, game 7 top of the 9th up 2-1 my AS closer turned Mitch Williams on me against the Jays and gives up 2 HR (he had given 1 in the whole year)

As a Phillies fan, I kindly ask that you don't go there. ;(

Is this your team? I can't believe how many lefties are in that lineup. Ok it's 1955 but Wrigley is not kind to left handed HR hitters. They have not had a left handed hitter hit 30 HR in 30 yrs. Pena came close and would have gotten it had it not been for injuries. I only know maybe 7 players on this team, obviously the Mick is leading them to the promised land so far. Herb Score is having a heck of a season.

1st place and no players in the top 3 in any category? Hard to do.

It will now.

If I were you, I'd be asking for a free copy of OOTP15. There's no way any software should be released with a bug as big as this.

My soul weeps at Ted Williams in Philly.

I do enjoy the Yankees merely being a middling historical team in that universe. Well done!
