Billy Almon and why this game rules!

[lancevance]

So I'm still new to Puresim but have had enough free time since starting to play out almost all games(until I've been knocked out of playof contention) in 2 plus seasons.

I started with the 1970 Red Sox and Mike Andrews at second. In the draft before season 3 I drafted Billy Almon in the 5th round just because he is from my hometown. In the first two seasons I played out I had very few double plays starting with Mike Andrew at second but now in my third season with Almon there I see a huge jump in DP when the ball is hit his way.

I am so glad I found this game as it is both FUN and accurate!! I started playing baseball sims way back with Longball, Strat, Statis-Pro(the best of the Board games). As far as computer games I was playing OOTP and I've switched so I'll just leave it at that.

I would also like to say that everyone on this board seems very dedicticed to ENJOYING the game for what it is insted of what it is not.

Billy Almon was my favorite player when I was 10, and I even named my dog Almon (most people thought his name was Almond because of his color).  Those were good times before I knew how good (or bad) Billy Almon was.

I run into Billy about once every few years and he is always very nice.

That's cool. I wonder what ever happened to my Billy Almon slurpee cup?!?!
