How about a Manny Ramirez situation where the LF catches the ball in foul territory with less than 2 outs and flips it to a fan in the first row?

Ok I know other guys have done this, it's just too easy to pick on Manny...

<t> Very cool analysis - this is just the sort of thing we need to tinker with if we are to approach the *ideal* simulation... Anecdotally, I have started an association in 1919, importing 'real' players from Lahman. Now up to 1934 and I think I'm seeing similar results... Though strikeouts are ...

<t> A few quick observations...<br/>
<br/>
I think someone mentioned this before, but after trying it out (a lot) it is still far too easy to steal home. When I began playing I tried once or twice, and probably failed, so I was realistic in my choices and didn't attempt quite so much. But after it ...

Mmmm, Guinness...

If it wasn't 10 in the morning right now...

<t> I started my league in 1919, left him as a hitter, and he's done quite well, in terms of power. However, Gehrig will probably surpass him before it's all said and done with... Home Run totals (stars led league):<br/>
<br/>
Ruth / Gehrig: <br/>
1919 - 44* <br/>
1920 - 45*<br/>
1921 - 38*<br ...

<t> Ah, I see. I have just done as Amaroq did and do the names, ballparks, and financials myself. It would be nice if there was a 'default' setup like that... I actually hadn't even thought of that as being an issue - I kind of found it fun and interesting to get that info myself and sort of ...

<t> Also agree. Love the idea of potentially moving teams around, as you mentioned.<br/>
<br/>
Since about half of my time is spent playing historical replay, I'd love to be able to re-create expansion/ralignment as it happened. <br/>
<br/>
PS Also would be cool to have stats from prior seasons ...

<t> What do you mean you can't set up the game similar to MLB? <br/>
<br/>
I have been using the Lahman database and playing different setups all along. Started one association in 1919 (kept Babe with the Sox!), one in '84, and even replayed the 2005 season (rosters and setup courtesy of a fellow ...

<t> Finally! Had a few stops and starts trying to register over here, but nothing too dramatic...<br/>
<br/>
Would like to echo the congratulations - and thanks for all the hard work. I really feel like this is a living, breathing, evolving game that just keeps getting better and better... <br ...

Tino hit 44 home runs that year in real life.

And on paper Nomar should be an upgrade from Cabrera (unless Shaun somehow coded for 'clubhouse cancer' in the new edition...).
