Is there a problem with the League File or No????

HTML and Utility are updating.

HTML and Utility are updating.

When I'm at work I have to manually download the file, so I didn't try in game. It looks fine to me.

A lot of big names from Maine's glory days retired

3B Charlie MacCabe retires.
2B Neto Bermeo retires.
1B Eddie O'Fallon retires.
SP Frank Kelly retires.
1B Tom Tilbrook retires.

Pittsburgh Millers: Signed free agent MR Mike Fritsch to a 1-year contract worth a total of $420,000.
Thursday, December 5th, 1991
Pittsburgh Millers: Signed free agent SP Jim Fletcher to a 1-year contract worth a total of $420,000.

Hmmm.....

[Clay]

Hmmm.....

I wondered how they got on DFA.

They'll be released from Pittsburgh.

As has become customary, the penalty will be the salary.

[Clay]

Wow... playing for Morgantown drove Caramillo to retire at 36.

And "The Prodigy" Jeff Franklin calls it a career at 30.

Not quite the glory day players...but a ton of former Bats retired...

P Martin Carlton the only current. Maybe the best pitcher I'll ever have?

P Grant Lewis, closer from '85-'88, won a Brewmaster's win the Bats. Also recorded his 400th save with the club and finished his career with 420.

IF Charlie MacCabe was a utility guy for me in his final season.

1B Eddie O'Fallon was traded for another downward spiriling 1B, Joe Sierra.

OF Dave Robbins had a decent number of years for D.C. before being dumped.

P Troy Sisk was acquired in a waiver-trade late in the '88 season.

IF Joe Martiez, utility guy for two yeas.

OF Tony Rajanna, one of those AAAA types that finally showed his potential in Cali.

P Joe Rodriguez was the #4-#5 SP during the glory years of Gonzo, Chav and Villazon.

C Larry Miller was the first "prospect" I traded. Him along with, you guys remember this name, Arturo Arrigon, for John "The Tank" Brown.

[Carlos]

None of the guys that retired, I would call the best at anything in Denver.

Daniel Goree?
Curt Rutledge?
Philippe Gagne?

Good bye.

What? What did I do wrong? They've been free agents since September, and I offered them contracts three sims ago. That isn't allowed?

Nope. Only resigning your own players once we hit the off-season.

[Andrew]

3 sims ago would be the playoffs, no?

[Z]

I've been in the league since we started, and I had no idea that was a rule. Wow.

[Clay]

I've been in the league since we started, and I had no idea that was a rule. Wow.

That's cause everyone else followed it.

Plus, you were gone for those couple seasons after the bathhouse arrest.

[Z]

Where in the rulebook is that one? I can't find it.

[Jake]

I'm really surprised Ciocchi didn't get picked by someone. I've seen a lot worse pitchers selected through the years...

And for that matter, did anyone have JJ Frost on their lists, or did I hastily offer him up to Brad?
