I have a game using Horlick up on YouTube with the park factors for Horlick all set at 1.000 and capacity set at 5000. The link for the game between the Racine Belles and Kenosha Comets set in the 1943 AAGPBL is:

My game has lots of different things since I basically created the 1943 AAGPBL from scratch using the available actual statistics. I play-tested dozens of full 1943 seasons to get historical results which required tweaking the league settings for things like hits, extra base hits, strikeouts, walks, and steals. I added tinted photos of the actual 1943 AAGPBL players. I added custom sounds like the piano playing a tune from 1943 for the stretch, and I added some custom camera angles to Horlick. I hope people enjoy watching this game as I think my AAGPBL project now results in season-long statistics very close to the actual results. For example, do expect many stolen base attempts as that was very common in the 1943 AAGPBL.

Notes:
1. Some of you may be able to set your text reader to a female voice. I wanted to do so for this AAGPBL game and I was able to set my text reader/narrator to female for most purposes but for the OOTP game it always reverts to Mick David (Microsoft David). Some of you might have better luck getting a female voice.
2. The game text by default refers to he, him, his, and he's instead of she, her, hers, and she's. I suspect to get female reference that the OOTP Development Team would have to make some small tweaks to OOTP/data/text/english and then make the new file something like english_female.

Thank you asrivkin for Racine's Horlick Field. Playing the 1943 AAGPBL has been fun for me since not much baseball news has been going on since the lockout.

Asrivkin's link to those Racine yearbooks is also a jewel for anyone interested in the AAGPBL. I noticed that it lists heights and weights of the Racine players and those are not easy to find for most of the AAGPBL players. It also has fielding statistics which are not readily found in simple searches.
