Fortunately for me, I don't need to call in because I have OOTP running on my personal laptop at work and I can do both.

The very definition of mediocre, kinda just faded away. Good, but not great.

Big Terry Forster (6'3", 270) never made a huge impact for the Dodgers, but did appear on my radar for his appearances in the Dodgers post-seasons in '78 and '81. Wikipedia has this tidbit on him which I find very hard to believe:

Forster was also an excellent hitter, something usually not associated with relief pitchers. His .397 lifetime batting average (31 hits in 78 at bats) is the highest for any major leaguer in history with either 50 at bats or with at least 15 years of major league experience.

The other #51 is Big Jonathan Broxton. One of the team's first full-time closers after Gagne left, Big Jon had some big shoes to fill. He did pretty well during the regular season, but became the face of the Dodgers' consecutive post-season eliminations by the Phillies.

This is always a cool thread. Once it starts, I read it everyday up to the release.

And I'm really looking forward to OOTP 19. The new updates and features sound great.

So, did a quick check on Lahman, and turns out it's true!

No one can top my #50.

But Ground Chuck deserves some love, too. He was HUGE in the playoffs.
