What team and why

Those Braves teams had a lot of Michiganders following with Smoltz and Avery on the staff. I was disappointed that the MLB Network doc a few weeks back had no mention of Avery (that I recall). It was fun seeing Smoltz, Maddux, and Tommy G together.

Once Drove 4 hours from Ann Arbor to Pittsburgh when I was 16 to see Braves take on the Bucs in 3 Rivers Stadium. Maddux threw a 3 hit complete game in under 2 hours. Want to say he threw somewhere in the 90 pitches range. In my eyes, the 91 WS will never be beaten (even with the gut wrenching heartbreak). 7 games, 3 going in extra innings including a 10 inning 1-0 game 7 finish. Fantastic.

I'm not really a Rangers fan but the woman I was with at the time was, and the Cards really made it a long cold winter for me

When a pitcher gets a complete game on less than 100 pitches I've heard it called a Maddux. LOL! Was amazing how he routinely did that. But I found something that shocked me a week or so ago, I was looking at his game logs because I was wondering what the highest number of walks he ever had in a game was. Well I found a game from 90 or 91 where he walked 7 batters. Now the question is, since I didn't get to watch the game, how many of those walks were the oh "unintentional (intentional) walk" variety. I think from 92 or 93 onward he never walked more than 4 in a game.

I am still playing 17 and use fictional rosters. My Giants franchise is in year three. I decided to play with them because I liked the uniforms and stadium. I am a Yankee fan in real life so never go with them in the game (I am nuts and if stats don't add up to real life I get upset). If I get 2018, which I eventually will if fictional rosters come out for the game, and play with real life rosters I think I would chose the Reds because its a difficult rebuild or maybe Tampa or Miami because both franchises are a complete mess and should probably be contracted out.

I use the Indians (my hometown/favorite) for my MoM franchise and the Rays (Cause I know live near Tampa and would be a fun rebuild)for my play franchise.

Marlins because apparently I'm broken on the inside...

It's actually been surprisingly fun because of how impossible it is.
