Lyman Bostock & Thurman Munson

[LoneRhino]

I started a game in 1976 (I'm playing the Mariners). I just started the1980 season and Lyman Bostock & Thurman Munson are alive and well. Does the game ever have as a random event a player dying? It would have to be extremely rare.

No. The game doesn't randomly have people die in their prime. There are two choices in a historical game "Retire According to History" and not. You have it toggled off. This allows users to see how Gehrig, Koufax, Munson, Bostock, etc. might have done had they not been become sick, been injured, or died.

To create such a storyline, you could edit the html that has the storylines and edit the file to make such a storyline on your own. Or edit the injury file (IIRC it is a txt file), and change some injury to death by whatever.

I don't want to do that. I was just curious to see if the game would go down that dark road. It's probably better that it doesn't.
