Tom Gordon RP 2004

@LloydChristmas

 

I for one cannot wait for the new OOTP24 graphics to depict the pre-game as Cap Anson hurls the n-word around and then turns to see 30+ prime Shaquille O'Neal clones

Give us Howie Pollet b/c apparently we're drafting a team to storm Normandy too

@AmazingB

 

Adley Rutschman, C, 2022

@dp4m

Amazing.

 

Well ****

 

Since apparently we need stories for these guys now, The first guy was born in Oklahoma before it was a state, and has a younger brother named Lloyd, which seems appropriate somehow.



And then a Green Mountain Boy and one of the only baseball players inducted into the Vermont Sports Hall of Fame.

Amazing.

 

I've always wanted to draft a Luke in a draft, so...Luke Appling 1936

Also another WWII vet to really drive home the team name inspiration.

Wilbur Wood SP 1971

@tom

 

it occurs to me i should have a backup plan in case catchers being able to play defense turns out to be important.

tim mccarver, 1967

@Point Given

 

Went looking back for something and saw this didn't get answered.

I don't really think so. Closest I think we have is various awards recipients on the fodeuss wiki, but those haven't been updated in a while either. At least, last I checked.

 

I am keeping my own records but as far as a league-wide master copy, I think that would be bananas, even for us.

 

I gave the final stats for both OOTP seasons, if anyone wants to mash them up for aggregate records

 

Arky Vaughn wins, I think is the common consensus...

Dammit, tom! I obviously have two guys who can catch (middling), but after Cochrane was taken I'd been debating getting a straight-defensive C, or a pretty-good defensive C with decent offensive stats -- and that was McCarver (capitalized for jcgoble...).

 

Chuck Knoblauch (2B, 1996)

Hey, CockBlauch. What's on your mind?



Oh, but that's not all!

(may want to check your volume levels for this next part...)

Spoiler

Good news, everyone! Glasscock and Knoblauch have happily agreed to co-chair the Pizza Party Planning Commission! In fact, they're so enthusiastic about their new task that they've taken the ball and really run with it and are now planning to open a pizza joint in Slim Jim Park next season.

CockBlauch Pizza (and Calzones)!

We're still workshopping the slogan, but where we're at so far is:

From the cock of the walk down the end of the blauch, we make the best damned pizza that you just can't knock.

Snag your season tickets now, folks.

Suck up!

 

As if we haven't been to dozens of games together. Next time, I'll make sure to nab someone with 31 career PAs and try to game the system.
