How to Build a Team
Sign a player that will slide hard into second base to make sure his teammate has a chance of being safe at first.
Make sure said player has enough padding to take a pitch as a consequence of his hard slides.
Have a divisional rival with a feisty starting pitcher who feels he has to take the game in his own hands and mete out punishment for interrupting his middle infielders. Throw in a younger MLB umpire with an itchy trigger finger.
Go into a tight, tense game into the bottom of the ninth with the score tied. Ensure the leadoff hitter gets on base and bunt him over. Urge the superstar-in-making at short to knock in the winning run.
Profit.
