1983-84 OFFSEASON
Lots to discuss in the ensuing offseason, so I'll try to get through it.
1. The Atlanta Braves actually ended up smashing the Orioles in the World Series. Go figure. Wonder if we would have beat them?
2. As expected, Fergie Jenkins, Jon Matlack, and Gaylord Perry retired. Fergie's number was automatically retired for the Rangers. I manually retired Matlack's, as I figured he earned it.
3. Fergie actually had a killer last game that resulted in a win during the heartbreaking playoff series, I've attached the box score. He almost went for a complete game but ran out of gas before the last batter. Good way to go out.
4. Worst of all - Gaylord Perry retired with a Giants hat! I'm mad at the OOTP algorithm for doing that, given he has more WAR and pitched better with Texas. I ended up un-retiring him to try to earn the Texas hat with another season in 1984. This isn't really cheating too much I figure, as I'll be paying a lot of money for an old replacement-level pitcher.
