Let's see how your guys have done Scottiedog.
Doug Flynn: Doug Flynn played sparingly for Cincinnati through the 1978 season. He spent 1979 with San Francisco's AA squad and then he was a Rule 5 selection by Boston in 1980 where he played 86 games and hit .253. The last two seasons were spent as a minor league free agent with Montreal and back to Cincinnati. This is very different from his real major league experience where he averaged over 100 games with more than 300 AB's from '77 - '84 before retiring after the 1985 season.
John Vuckovich: He didn't last long in my alternate universe. My simming began with the 1977 season where Vuckovich only played in 1 game for Philadelphia making 1 plate appearance. He earned a walk. He retired after the 1977 season. In real life Vuckovich played sparingly for the Phillies retiring after the 1981 season.
Joel Youngblood: He's bounced around a several times. After spending 1976 in Cincinnati, he ended up in St. Louis where he was traded mid-season to Cleveland. He stayed with the Indians until the trading deadline of 1981 when he was dealt to San Diego for Gene Richards. His best season was with Cleveland in a platoon role when he hit .303 with 20 HR's in only 350 AB's. He's been San Diego's starting right fielder for the last 2 seasons but only hitting at a .237 clip.
