Hey guys,
Hope everyone is enjoying the end to the baseball season, should be an exciting playoff season. Today, we're setting up to add an additional 20 players to ATG in the next month or so. Which players added will be selected by you.
A poll has been set up here to allow you to vote for the players you would like to see added. 40 player seasons will be voted upon with each user who wants to participate being allowed to vote for the 5 players from that list they would like to see added most. The top 19 vote getters will be added.
The last player added will come down to the player not on the poll that you would like to see added most. So, each user will be allowed to write-in one player season in the poll's thread. The player with the most write-in votes will be the 20th player. As everyone likely has a different preference for that 20th player, if there is a tie for the top write-in vote, we'll select one of the players from the tie to add.
We'll leave the poll open for a week so next Thursday we'll announce which 20 players we will be adding. Once we know which players will be added it will take a few weeks to plug them into ATG 8 but they could be added by the end of October.
The 40 players that may be added are listed below:
1896 Hughie Jennings
1911 Sam Crawford
1917 Heinie Groh
1929 Lefty O'Doul
1944 Dizzy Trout
1948 Joe DiMaggio
1949 Vern Stephens
1951 Bobby Thomson
1953 Al Rosen
1955 Richie Ashburn
1957 Willie Mays
1962 Don Drysdale
1965 Vern Law
1965 Sonny Siebert
1966 Hoyt Wilhelm
1966 Jack Aker
1966 Larry Jaster
1967 Joe Horlen
1968 Pete Rose
1970 Bobby Bonds
1972 Ramon Hernandez
1977 Andre Thornton
1992 Dennis Martinez
1993 Andy Benes
1993 Dante Bichette
1993 John Olerud
1993 Rick Wilkins
1993 John Wetteland
1995 Mo Vaughn
1996 Todd Hundley
1996 Steve Finley
1997 Edgar Martinez
1998 Andy Ashby
1998 Andres Galarraga
1999 Keith Foulke
2002 Arthur Rhodes
2003 Gary Sheffield
2004 Armando Benitez
2005 Mariano Rivera
2008 Chipper Jones
Again, each user can vote for a maximum of 5 to add. We'll take the top 19 vote getters plus the 1 write-in winner. You can find the poll here.
This is also not a one-time thing. We plan on adding another group of players in a few months as well. Next time, we'll likely take nominations on players to use in the poll rather than create a list ourselves. But for this poll, we'll use the 40 players above.
That's all I have for this week. As always, if anyone has any questions please e-mail us at onlinegamesupport@strat-o-matic.com. Talk to you all next week!
