I started in 1936(due to DiMaggio), however, I was unable to replicate 6 straight World Series'. this is my 1958 line-up and likely my best. Yost ended the year with a .363 OBP but only 63 runs, his nickname is the walking man but he only had 68 walks, he did marginally better than his real life stats (.361 OBP but with 81 walks, funny, eh?), then again the senators did not have this arsenal behind him, right? I picked him up since he had a 20 in walks(so I expected .400+ OBP.

(1958 line-up)

this is how I look in 1962 . . . . ridiculous, eh? Would you set it up differently?

(1962 line-up)

while controlling them all these years I could not produce as many titles as they truly won, an example is between 1939-1961, they won 16 titles, I could only produce 8 even with Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Bill Dickey and others(like Harmon Killebrew and Charlie Keller) on my squad, it's been an utter disappointment but enjoyable nevertheless, I just thought I should of done better, lol. Maybe it was my staff(however, I did have ol' Dizzy on my side at one point, hmm? I'm also using set pitch counts to prevent wearing them out.

He used to say the most beautiful play in the game is a sacrifice fly, and you know why? Richie Renard: 'Cause you give yourself up for the team? Gil Renard: And it doesn't even count against your average. That's why baseball's better than life - it's fair. Last edited by reo; 08-03-2011 at 02:06 PM. Reason: add
