It is the Lord's work indeed, jksander, and we are fortunate to be able to enjoy the benefits of the hard work and dedication of LansdowneSt, Garlon, and all the others who have contributed to the NeL mod's development. We owe them our thanks every time we play a game with the mod.

I share mugwump1970's enjoyment of playing the game with diverse groups of players from different eras. But even within one era you can create your own dream team combinations. In one game, set in the 1920s, I had an outfield of Babe Ruth in right, Oscar Charleston in center, and Cool Papa Bell in left. In another, set in the 1950s, I had Willie Mays in right, Mickey Mantle in center, and Minnie Minoso in left. Willie wanted some center field time too, so I told Mickey he'd have to share and they agreed to alternate playing center one season and right the next. When Minnie retired, Roger Maris took his place in the outfield and Hank Aaron had to play 2nd base to get a regular spot in the lineup. And I play with injuries turned off so Mickey can live up to the full potential he had when he came to the Yankees in 1951.

I've been playing OOTP since version 9 and I've never enjoyed myself so much or had as much fun as I have when playing with the NeL mod. I'm glad there are others who are enjoying the mod as much as I am.

LansdowneSt, if you are reading this, I have an idea I would like to discuss with you. May I send you a private message?
