With less than two weeks to go before the worldwide release of Out of the Park Baseball 20, Rich sits down with OOTP CEP Markus Heinsohn to take a look at what it means to make a beloved baseball strategy game for two decades. From the early days to now and looking far into the future, Markus is always very open, honest, and transparent with his fans. We touch on what makes the community so special, how the game has changed his life, and even what the future might hold.
