Not Mickey but Pain Mantle--ThePainmantle Interview
This Forum member has been here since 2006 has Hall of Fame status with over 2,100 post and has been thanked almost 1,700 times Mr Painmatle
When and what version did you start playing OOTP? OOTP 8 in 2007, after that I took a hiatus until OOTP 12, I can’t imagine not having the most updated version at this point in my life. What's feature of the game you love most? I love the online League aspect, I’m in 7 right now and still find time to hit the forums of all of them, here and several others. I think maybe I’ll start a 12 step program for this addiction! What's favorite baseball team (any league)? I’m an Indiana Man, Colts, Pacers and I absolutely Love the Indianapolis Indians (AAA) How old you? 50 Where are you originally from? Greenfield, Indiana (20 Mi east of Indy) Born raised here, lived here my whold life with the exception of 1990-1996 when I moved to St Petersburg, Florida, My main reason for that was to attend as many Spring Training games as possible. Are you a family man? I am, Kids are 20,23,25 and moved out now, I am currently in the process of a divorce which is going much smoother than I had envisioned. What do you for a living? I am currently the Caregiver for my Grandmother, who is now 98 and going strong despite being Legally deaf, mostly blind and had a stroke, she is a handful but I couldn’t imagine doing anything else right now . I have been doing this since the business I worked at closed in 2002. Besides OOTP do you have any other hobbies or interest? I’m a Board Game freak (you know, those games people played before computers were a household item) with a preference for War Games, I am a History Buff also and I love the way Sports is entrenched in our History. Your known as someone that likes to answer a lot of people's questions here in the forum, why do get so involved with that? I remember when I was new here and had questions, I always appreciated that the guys here were so willing to help and knowledgeable about the game. I try to pass that on for future OOTP generations so they may understand that we were all the proverbial “Noob” at one point in our life. What individual project you shared for OOTP forum are you most proud off that? Honestly my contribution has been minimal, I am proud of the fact that my Ruth Dynasty is still going, I see so many fizzle out. I love all the amazing Mod work on here and it takes this game to another level that most games never reach. It is an almost “Cult” like following on these boards and I’m just one of the followers! If the OOTP team asked you be a consultant what will you change, add or remove for new version of the game? This is an easy one, first and foremost, Head-to-head Play would be a must, especially for on-line leagues. I’d also like to see a more in-depth “exhibition Mode” one where you could set up a single game or a series between any teams in your database(S) Historical, real, fictional…whatever, If I wanted to play my WBF GCL Team against the 1927 Yankees that would be an amazing Thing. And of course the enhanced exhibition capabilities would be available in the head to head mode as well! What dynasty contributors work do you personally enjoy? This is a trick question, I’m sure I’ll leave someone out, NYY #23 keeps coming up with totally original ideas to keep it interesting, Eugene Church and Orcin are Dynasty legends, Tiger Fan is currently doing an amazing multi-sports dynasty which was always a dream of mine. On a separate Note Tomas (Jabez 54) Was a dynasty reading legend, I miss his contribution and hope he is ok Is there any other game or show your currently enjoying you would like to let us know about? I play some Team Fortress on Steam when I can, and I really love to watch old syndicated Sitcoms. About the only current TV show I make an effort to watch is “Shark Tank”

I despise the Pacers & Colts but I also like the Indians. I saw them back when Delino DeShields played for them. Greenfield has some killer HS teams or maybe I am getting them confused with Greenwood.
