Wow. I just read all four pages...every word. What a great Dynasty Report. I've read a few pages from other people, but I really liked how you laid yours out. Concise, but great commentary. Honestly, I had a stupid smile on my face almost the entire first page. I was so into it.

Oh, you forgot to tell us who won the 1984 World Series! Please don't say Boston. Boo Boston! Hiss! Hiss!! I've gotta ask you, how did you do each season? Did you start off the season and auto-sim until the All-Star Break, or somewhere around there? Take some screenshots for your season write up and then sim again to somewhere right around game 162? It sounds like you did your post-season stuff one day at a time...is that correct? Sorry to be all nosy, but one day I'm sure I'll want to do something like this. I noticed many entries (I'm grouping seasons together) were within a few days of each other, so I assume you weren't spending a whole lot of time IRL on each season, or am I incorrect?

A few observations & comments:

I hate to say it, but I was laughing at your misery with Goose Gossage in the playoffs. Why? Because I'm doing a historical sim, started with the '81 Yankees and Mr. Gossage has given me the exact same type of performance when I made it to the playoffs. So, I know your pain.

I was so excited when I got my hands on Nolan Ryan for the '82 season. It's like winning the lottery, right?? Not for me. He was supposed to be my Ace but he was so terrible for me, I traded him before the year was over. My world must be in the upside-down. Look at this:

Oh yeah, I totally forgot how gross Memorial Stadium was in Baltimore, in a good way...

Frankly, I love old stadiums. I love my Yanks, but living in Mass., I go to more Red Sox games because it's so much closer. Fenway is gross. Half of it smells like pee & beer. But history. When you come outta the tunnel and see that ultra-green grass. Ted Williams played right over there. Mickey ran down fly balls right over there. And so on... I was so sad when they got rid of Yankee Stadium. The House That Ruth Built. No more.

I can't wait to see what's in store for the 1987 Texas Rangers and beyond!

Great job!!!
