Out of the Park Baseball (latest version entitled Out of the Park Baseball Manager 2006), also known as OOTP, is a text-based baseball simulator for career and fictional play. Brainchild of German programmer Markus Heinsohn, the game began in the late nineties as a DOS-based game. In 2005, the game was purchased by Sports Interactive, makers of Football Manager. Heinsohn remains the primary creative force behind the game. Out of the Park Baseball 2006 is the seventh version of the game, and was released on May 31, 2006.
[edit] Inside the Park Baseball
Inside the Park Baseball is a game where you create your own player and manage his career. It is possible to import OOTP 2005 leagues for use in IITP games.
Inside the Park Baseball was also developed by Markus Heinsohn. It is considered by some to be a 'companion' game to Out of the Park Baseball; the latter allows you to manage entire baseball teams (and also entire leagues), the former focuses on just one player.
