tarheel1991 took Dan Issel with the 74th pick in ODL34.

To be perfectly fair, Curry did go before Dan Issel.

has anyone ever drafted Issell in either of the legacy draft leagues?

Issel was the best player on the team that won the last decades league title, 1955-1975.

Are you talking about the DDL or some other league?

Yes the DDL, the one that amerk has.

Dan Issel was not on the team that won DDL #42.

Maybe they had the best record or something. He was with Rudy T,

No

Got this from Bob the new owner the other day. I'm wondering why this is so difficult when the baseball sim here offers many different size leagues.

Bruce,

New owner here. The way the code is written it actually is a very difficult thing to do. The schedules are static, so it would take a complete rewrite. I said we'd look into it, and we're looking into it. If you have a software background I'd be happy to schedule a call with me, you, and our lead dev so he can explain why it would be difficult and what we're doing that will make changes easier in the future.

I wish I had a better answer, but we just took over 4 months ago and we're untangling 25 years of code. We have 3 software developers, SportsHub had 1. We're doing the best we can with that we have and pumping every cent of revenue back into the games.

-Bob

Pretty sure he told you exactly why.

WWDID (What Would Dan Issel Do?)

Savoy - as soon as the people here at WIS figure it out, I challenge you to a two man draft league. No three pointers, Issel clones allowed. If you want multiple Issels, you must draft them seperately. Let's set aside all the bs that usually takes center stage here at WIS and just turn back the clock, revel in the decades called the 60's and the 70's and live a little! I'm old enough to remember when you first joined WIS and you trotted out a decent 70's decade team. Seems like so long ago...

More than decent. I won my division with like 56 wins. Everybody laughed at me for taking Archie Clark in the first few rounds as none of them realized that he was tremendous for 2-3 years there. I also stole Roger Brown in like the 6th or 7th round. I had Buse and Haywood. 1970 Haywood is like a top 5 player for the 70s. I had a platoon of Sikma and Burleson at center.

We'll always have the memories...
