Small thing only I probably care about in the Historical League Wizard

dynaboyj · 02-03-2013, 04:47 AM

So I was playing around with the Historical League Wizard summaries, looking for seasons to start a game in, when I read the 1998 league summary and noticed that there was nothing about Cal Ripken's iconic consecutive-game streak ending!

Could something about that be put in for OOTP14, please? As an (obligatory) Orioles fan, this matters to me. (emotional piano music)

While we're kind of on the subject of season summaries in the Wizard, and I don't know if I want to make a whole separate thread about it, there's an error in the 1969 summary.

It begins "Baseball expanded by four teams in 1969, adding the Seattle Pilots and Kansas City Royals to the American League. Additionally, the former Kansas City Athletics moved west to become the Oakland Athletics in 1969." But the Athletics had already been in Oakland for a full year by then, having moved before the 1968 season.

I don't remember who wrote the summaries. But I can edit them -- and I will. So, thanks for the input.

BTW, who's Cal Ripken?

;o)
