Thank you!

Everything is restored, including OOTP and the Republican League files. I spent some time last night cleaning up (i.e., "reducing") the Republican League Hall of Fame. I usually set the automatic induction criteria very high, and then weed out those players I don't consider to be automatically worthy. Then, as the dynasty progresses, if we notice a player who should be in inducted but hasn't, we can discuss him and add him later. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get player pictures attached to the HTML pages for my HOFers.

While nosing around the HOF, I did come across a fellow named Everett Barr, who is perhaps the best pitcher I've ever seen in OOTP:

Barr pitched for just 17 seasons (1909-1926) for Pennsylvania and New York, winning an astounding 12 Most Outstanding Pitcher awards, and was an All-Star every single season he played in the majors. Despite playing for the RL's premier franchise, the New York Knights and despite having another HOFer in the rotation with him for several of those seasons - "Coyote" Flores, who won four more Most Outstanding Pitcher Awards in his own right - Barr won just one National Championship Series, in 1915, during his first season in NY.

Barr is the career leader in both wins, winning percentage, strikeouts and K/9, and leads all players, both batters and pitchers, in VORP, which I don't think I've ever seen done before by a pitcher.
