But his progress was slow and spotty (eventually he did produce PureSim baseball). Than one day I ran across a completed game by some German kid. A German baseball game? But still it was offering me what I was looking for and was more involved that Baseball Mogul, so I bought it.
When I went to activate OOTP 2 my license didn't work and I sent an email to Markus who replied almost immediately. It turns out I opened the old email from OOTP 1 when looking for my licenses and had to email him back admitting that I might not be the smartest customer, but at least I was loyal.
I grew up in Austin TX, which obviously is in the U.S. but back when I was a kid, Austin might as well have been a foreign country when it came to baseball. My dad was a New Yorker and would take me to U.T. baseball games. Back then they played in Clark Field. Notice that there is a cliff in center field and the fence is a good 20 feet behind it. You could actually hit a ball on top of the cliff, and the ball would still be in play.
