- Players: 1968 Player Pool. A 1965 player pool was originally created for Front Page Sports, exclusive to out league. When converting from FPS to OOTP, I imported our league's historical statistics rather than a Lahman Database (or similar) import. Amateurs are imported based on their Amateur Draft (or Amateur FA signing) year rather than their MLB debut year.
