An Interview with Knight165 - Creator of The Show Rosters

[DickDalewood]

This is the first year I've used these actually, and I gotta say... they're great!

Downloaded these, and the latest patch, and am 1-5 with the Cubs. Honestly... these rosters might be TOO good... lol.

Good work!

[Knight165]

Again...thank you...

I also want to reiterate.....that the O.S.F.M. are IMO the BEST example of a true "COMMUNITY ROSTER".
There are so many people who put in as much if not MORE work on these now...than I do and they all deserve the major recognition for the work.

So Knight's a former FPS commish. Now it all starts to make sense. I'm STILL playing that game in an online league, lol. No monthly or groundball/flyball ratings in The Show, lol but I guess Clutch is similar to the "Close and Late" and "Scoring Pos" ratings. Thank you for all you do Knight! .

Are you!?
I still have all my copies...but cannot for the life of me get them to work on any of my PC's.

Man....e-mailing roster moves through AOL! and using BB's as the "forums".
We've come a long way.
I gotta dig through my old manuals....I have a strategy guide for FPS '96(?...could be '94 though) that's as thick as a Stephen King novel.

Good stuff.

You gotta get virtual PC and an old win 95 installation disk to run it on a newer computer. Your right though, we have come a long way. I remember in Micro League Baseball you had to make up your own season schedules by a bunch of single games played individually. Pad and pen standings if you know what I mean. A far cry from umpire personalities and full minor league rosters. Man I sat down to play for the first time in over a week and I am just amazed with all of the depth in these rosters you have organized. I really appeciate your work! Or in regards to the article i guess i should say, I'm really glad you still enjoy making these!

If you mean creating rosters.....not a job!(well....in the paying sense)

If you mean the F.D.N.Y.....that's an open competitive test.
