Tales From the OOTP Multi-Verse
Out of the Park Baseball has nearly limitless options for customization, so we've started chatting with players doing fun things with the game. The articles resulting from those conversations will be posted in a new section of our forum and will be featured in our newsletter. The first entry in the series is the British Baseball Society, a unique take on baseball set in the UK.

A Jolly Good Time on the Baseball Pitch
Baseball is seen as a uniquely American sport, with an additional level of strong interest in the Far East, but what if it became popular in other countries too? How would they embrace it, and how would they organize their teams? It's a fun "What if?" question, and Mark Cooley decided to take a stab at it with the British Baseball Society (BBS), which he created thanks to the vast customization options available in Out of the Park Baseball.
The BBS uses soccer as a template, and it's realistic in many ways, including three tiers of play, with teams moving between the tiers after each season, based on their performance. Cooley adds: "Our finances are handled outside the game as each tier has its own ticket price and salary cap, all under 700K per year. We have two transfer periods, much like European football. I've modded the news.xml file to handle the lack of team nicknames. Our teams are named such as European soccer clubs are (Leeds White Rose, Ibrox United, Granite Aberdeen, West Reading BC, Metro Walsall, etc.). We use only names from nationalities that our teams are located, so BBS only has English-, Irish-, and Scottish-named players."
