Exactly. Threads like this are why people I know both online and offline laugh at us for playing OOTP. "At least Baseball Mogul/SOM/Diamond Mind/Action PC/MLB The Show/whatever is about REAL BASEBALL," they will post or IM me or say to me, "and not about hobbits/Vikings/weird fictional worlds/robots/Ghana/women/whatever."

The problem is that we have a vocal minority who appear to believe that this IS a role-playing game and not a baseball simulation and who lobbies Markus that way. And they also start threads like this one.

You're right, though, it really is just silliness.

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.
