New Customer Created Library - 60s Franchise Decade Teams
Jeffrey Kik has just shared a custom player library he created that contains great franchise players from the 60s decade. This library is comprised of 20 teams from both leagues, each containing the best players during the decade (using the player's best season). For defensive statistics, the average was taken across all seasons played by each player. Library includes full rosters, DH lineups (L/R), rotation/bullpen profile settings, and left/right splits.
To install this library you need to download the library file from http://www.digitaldiamondbaseball.com/libraries.php and then install the file using the "Install/Restore Local Library" button on the Library Management Page.
Thanks to Jeffrey for creating and sharing this library!

Announcing the 2018 Season Library!
Announcing the 2018 Season Library!
On the surface, the 2018 season was all about the Boston Red Sox who finished the regular season with a record of 108-54. Only 8 teams have finished with more than 108 wins in MLB history. However, there is more to the 2018 story than Boston's domination. Oakland's 97 win season, the Brewer's division title, and the Braves early and surprising return to contention are just a few of the things that make the 2018 season magical.
The 2018 Season Library is free for owners of Digital Diamond Baseball and it contains player rosters (1,678 players), as-played lineups (4,862 lineups), real-life transactions (5,386 transactions), custom player ratings (range, run, arm, hold), left/right batting and pitching splits, and color images for all 30 ballparks. You can download this season library from the Library Management page.
Enjoy!

Version 7.1.4 Released
What Is New In This Release?
Fixed a big that sometimes allowed runners to take an extra base on a groud rule (or automatic) double.
Fixed a bug that could prevent some starting pitchers from being selected to start a game.
Fixed a bug that sometimes required the user to reload the schedule in order to fast play games using the "Play all games except for a specific team" feature.
Fixed a bug in the player editor that caused issues when editing DH games played.
Fixed an bug with hit and run double plays on a line drive.
Added an error message when the the port used by the game engine is aleady in use by either a second instance of Digital Diamond Baseball or another program. This new message saves a lot of time when trying to diagnose an "Error communicating with the game engine" error.
