I think finding out about older players is one of my favourite things about PT

Indeed. I tend to accumulate lots of bz.Silv and gold rather than anything higher so i can play players i never heard of : )

Sometimes i get them thinking i will make a theme lineup. I didin't know tony kubek played...i just new him as a broadcaster...now i want an all broadcaster team!

A mission could work too

I had Billy Wagner nab me a 4k inning (and 2500 PP) earlier today.

Nice little PP bonus.

You could also have Dizzy Dean as well, nice concept!

Are there stats that show how many achievements have been made per player/team/league?

I would love to see how many are done....how 4 k inninges are there?
Maybe the devs load a modifier to make them occur?

OOTPB please have more stats trackable and sortable overtime : )

There are no shortage of players who crossed over into announcing. Many are color commentators, but some become leads (Steve Busby comes to mind, having grown up with him and Jim Sundberg teaming up to call the Rangers on TV).

There are even more if we extend it to broadcasting in general, as many more have also appeared on studio pre/post-game shows.

Ray Fosse for the 90's A's!

mcdog512 · 07-05-2019, 08:46 PM

I hereby predict they will add this one...how can you not?

Fosse is definitely underrated and worthy of mention. Does he not do color commentary for their TV broadcasts anymore? He was when I briefly lived in NorCal about 5 years ago.

mcdog512 · 07-05-2019, 10:09 PM

Ray Fosse was a pretty good catcher.....my main memory of him is Charlie Hustle busting him up in a meaningless all star game.

Listening to Steve Stone do a White Sox game right now - and BINning him in the AH as I've decided to take the plunge. I'm revamping my L.A.-born team to become a broadcasters team. I already have a decent PP stash (18,000+) and Don Drysdale on the roster.

BigRed75 · 07-06-2019, 09:46 AM

Good news for me - I started looking up some of the players who are already on the team. In Duke Snider's Wikipedia page, I found this:

"Following his retirement from baseball, Snider became a popular and respected TV/radio analyst and play-by-play announcer for the San Diego Padres from 1969 to 1971 and for the Montreal Expos from 1973 to 1986. He was characterized by a mellow, low-key style."

So I can keep the Duke of Flatbush (one of the greatest L.A.-born players of all time) on the team as it transitions.

I'm also going to apply for Our League membership once I get rid of the Live cards on the roster. I've already replaced Buck Farmer with the aforementioned Steve Stone - five more to go.

The Cardinals can offer Al Hrabosky, Jim Edmonds, and Tim McCarver from their current announcing crew if you still need to find some players. There's also Mike Shannon and Rick Horton, but I don't think they have cards.
