I am, before and after being BANED, enjoying this replay. One question, though: how are you dealing with stuffs like VORP? I know that whenever I play something pre-1960, I create all sorts of customized display sheets so I can try and pretend I don't know what VORP or for that matter BABIP or OBP or SLG are. Or ERA, for that matter. I don't think it was recorded at all until the mid-1900s and even then it was considered a tricksy mom's-basement stat for a while. I always end up breaking down, though, because when you open up player cards there's VORP and OBP and ERA right there, staring at you, making it impossible for you to justify playing the guy who's hitting an empty .300 because he also has lots of RBIs and is a pleasure to have in the clubhouse. To even *see* if the guy is a pleasure to have in the clubhouse you have to click on the card!
