Guest Rotblatt Guests Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 San Diego Serenade via Deadspin.com:1986 World Series Game 6 Re-Enacted in RBI BaseballI can't actually view this at work, but it sounds nifty enough to try at home.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Wow. This is the coolest thing ever.
Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Not bad. Some little things were wacky, like Gary's single hitting the left field wall, but most things were close enough that I don't know how he set it up.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 "The Oil Can, at least for the moment, looks like he has tomorrow night off."
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 That was the nature of RBI Baseball. Hard singles went through to the wall. The outfielders never ran fast enough to cut the ball off, but the batters were often too slow to take advantage.Buckner also was shown to boot the ball instead of it going through him. Great and fun effort though. He gets a blue ribbon just for the Marty Barrett screen.
Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 I miss the Mooooooooook cheers.

Guest Bret Sabermetric Guests Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 And the cartoon Buckner actually keeps the ball in front of him in the infield.OE: haadn't seen Edgy's post when I made mine. Never mind.
dgwphotography Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 The best part of that was listening to Vin Scully...."If one picture is worth a thousand words, you have seen about a million words"
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 The guy mentions it in his intro, but did the color guy fall asleep during this inning? He reminds me of Uecker's partner in Major League II.
Guest ScarletKnight41 Guests Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 That was great. I showed it to MK, who loves the Mets and loves video games - he loved it

Guest holychicken Guests Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Nice.I have a friend who is a redsox fan who still plays RBI baseball on an emulator on his computer. . . *sends link to him now*
Guest holychicken Guests Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Immediate response:I hate you.Good times, thanks for the link
Guest Bret Sabermetric Guests Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Three people at work--one of whom knows me to be a huge Mets fan, two of knows me to be a big Sox fan--called me into their offices today to "show me something."The next person who so much as has a certain look on his face gets "I've already seen the Buckner thing" from me.
Guest OlerudOwned Guests Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 That was a really great video.Also, I wound up on a wiki database of RBI Baseball info, which includes a great profile on Tim Teufel.Highlights include:-Beat the shit out of Rob Dibble after he beaned him in 1989-Drove ladies crazy with his patented "Teufel Shuffle"-Has great hairEDIT: That RBI website is better than I thought."Rafael Santana sucks complete ass. He has the worst ratings in two of the three hitting categories, Power and Contact, and a very bad Speed rating. In addition, he is a righty. He somehow lucked out to win a ring with New York. What a loser this guy is." 'Fun Facts* According to the book The Bad Guys Won, Santana would routinely bring animal/midget/etc porn into the locker room. Also, while passed out drunk, urinated on a teammate during travel.* Teammate Ed Hearn said that Santana had "a C**k the size of a bat"' "[Gary] Carter's man-perm ranks second only to Don Sutton"
Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 I have no memory of that fight. But if Tiny Teufel beat his ass it's even further proof that the Nasty Boys were a bunch of bullshit.
Guest Rockin' Doc Guests Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Great find Rotblatt. It's always fun to relive such fond memories.
Zvon Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 THIS IS EXCELLENT!damn-I havent seen the RBI baseball looking graphics for a looooong time.
smg58 Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 It's disturbing how vividly I remember every detail of that inning, although I guess I'm not the only one here like that.
seawolf17 Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Brilliant, brilliant work. Great find.
Guest *62 Guests Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Player of The Game ............. Marty Barrett.NOT !!!
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Did Backman try and bunt at that first strike?
