I just realized that the first letters in each of the 4 Boston bench guys names spell B-A-S-H. (Burks, Armas, Sullivan, Henderson).
Although, Armas is first, so it'd be ASHB.
They can certainly bash. Sullivan not as much, but he still certainly can. I think Sullivan has the worst career stats of any RBI hitter, I think it's him, or maybe Pedrique or Santana.
Reggie has the most career rbi of any RBI'er, McGwire the most homers, George Brett the most Hits I think, or Gwynn (they're close), Gwynn the highest career average (I think), Brett might have the most Runs Scored too, if not, probably Reggie. Raines the most Steals, Brett the most Doubles, and Triples too I guess. Nolan Ryan in K's, Clemens in wins (some of these are all just off the top of my head), I could be wrong.
Geez I should made a topic about this.........not that anyone would care or anything (har har).
Their bench almost spells Ashby
SF's bench is ASSY.

No kidding.
Don't forget Reggie in career strikeouts and Cal Ripken in career DP's.
ASSY, lol.
Here are the CORRECT totals (just the main stats):
Games - Ripken 3,001
AtBats - Ripken 11,551
Runs - Molitor 1,782
Hits - Molitor 3,319
Doubles - Brett 665
Triples - Brett 137
Homers - McGwire 583
RBI - Reggie 1,702
Walks - Darrell Evans 1,605
Average - Gwynn .338
Steals - Raines 808
Wins - Clemens 341
Games - Orosco 1,252
Complete Games - Blyleven 61
Shutouts - Ryan 61
Saves - John Franco 424
Innings Pitched - Ryan 5386.0
Strikeouts - Ryan 5,714
ERA (not sure) Clemens has a 3.12 though
Thanks for correcting me, and adding those other stats.
Jack Morris had 175 complete games, almost 3 times as many as Bert
St. Louis' bench spells OMLL. (Oquendo, Morris, Lindemann, and Lake)
As for Boston, I lead Ellis Burks lead off, then let Armas hit a two-run shot. (Dave Henderson goes in place of Spike Owen). If that doesn't work, then I must be swinging all wrong.
Question: didn't Nolan Ryan place 2nd in all-time walks allowed?

I flip flop them. Armas is a double play machine. Its a persona preference, but Burks (with Armas on 1st) gives you a fighting chance from the 2 hole to still reach base on a grounder. Armas does not.
Blyleven had 242 complete games, not shutouts, I'm sorry. Geez my mind is going........
I always put Armas in for Barrett, But I ALWAYS go through the regular lineups at least once before I start substituting.
Nolan Ryan is by far the alltime leader in Walks, gave up over 2,700 of them.
Here are some other alltime stats I missed for RBI'ers:
Extra Base Hits- George Brett (1,119)
Total Bases- Cal Ripken (5,168)
Strikeouts- Reggie Jackson (2,597)
Slugging %- Mark McGwire (.588)
Now here are the single season totals for the big pudgy guys with aluminum bats:
Plate Apperances-Lenny Dykstra (773) It's also the alltime record.
At Bats- Kirby Puckett (691)
Runs- Lenny Dykstra (143)
Hits- Wade Boggs (240)
Doubles- Don Mattingly (53)
Triples- George Brett (20)
Homers- Mark McGwire (70)
RBI-Andres Galarraga (150)
Extra Base Hits- Ellis Burks (93)
Total Bases- Jim Rice (406)
Walks- Mark McGwire (162)
Strikeouts- Mike Schmidt (180)
Average- Tony Gwynn (.394)
Slugging %- Mark McGwire (.752)
Steals- Tim Raines (90)
Wins-Gooden/Clemens/Viola (24 each)
Complete Games-Nolan Ryan (26)
Shutouts- John Tudor (10)
Saves- Dave Righetti (46)
Innings Pitched- Nolan Ryan (332.2)
Strikeouts Nolan Ryan (383)
ERA- Doc Gooden (1.53)
Ok, I'm a nerd.
Jim Rice has the single-season MLB record for GIDP.

I was hoping the record you were posting about was most nuts busted to different porn videos.
Nice work, Metal King. Learn something new every day. Too bad George Brett sucks giant balls in RBI.

Too bad George Brett sucks giant balls bats right handed in RBI.
Nice work Metal King with the stats, very interesting.

Steals- Tim Raines (90)
Vince Coleman stole 110 as a rookie...
Larry Herndon hurt his hand on a lobster...that's got to be a record
I'm going through EVERY team lineup in RBI 3, some of them are very interesting.
The 1986 Red Sox and most of the other '86-'87 teams on this game have the same stats, but there are some different ones, and new players (14 hitters on each team).
Here's the regular 1986 RedSox lineup in RBI 3 in order:
Barrett
Boggs
Buckner (BB First it says for him)
DwightEvans at cleanup
Rice (JR Left)
Armas (11 homers, hits like shit in this one)
Gedman
Quinnones
Baylor (I hit a 429 foot hr with him)
The bench:
Spike Owen (1 hr, .183 avg)
Sullivan (I hit a 394 ft. homer)
Romero (Ed I think)
Lyons (I think it's Steve)
Greenwell (0 hr, .128 avg)
Then for pitching there's Clemens, Hurst, Oil Can Boyd, and Nipper. A little different than the RBI squad.
But going through all the teams in RBI 3, I'm stuck on 1987 St. Louis, that's where I've stopped. There's one guy on the team named TB Third (it's not Tom Brookens). He has a .277 average and 0 homers, I can't seem to find out who he is, even on my Franklin electronic baseball encyclopedia. Does anyone know who this guy is?
LOL I found some more fake names too. On 1986 California (Reggie isn't in the lineup, there's a Miller hitting 4th with a .228 avg and 0 hr), there's a player named WOODROE, and he has 15 homers and a .364 average!
And on '87 San Fransisco, Chili Davis bats 5th and Uribe is 8th before the pitcher, in NL games only. The great Harry Spilman is still a bench guy (HS Third). I dunno why they put the initials for some guys on the older teams, just makes it harder. Matt Williams is also on the bench, had to have been his first year with the team
The '87 Detroit team has all the same RBI players, including some new ones like Johnny Grubb and Darnell Coles.
I just wanna find out who in the hell that TB Third guy is......

Rod Booker.

Darrell Miller
Woodroe = Mark Ryal?

Most likely, and I'm not 100% on this, but when RBI 3 was released (90?), a lot of the players on the teams had already retired, therefore they were no longer in the union, and it would have been a pain in the ass to go around to every player in order to get their permission (not to mention the fact that video games still hadn't quite 'taken off' the same way today's video games have.

Rod Booker, does TPendleton not start?
Pendleton is a starter. They must've goofed and put TB instead of RB then, thanks.
Mark Ryal is also on the team (2 hr, .363), and is listed hitting 9th in the lineup (when it's not switched around). Woodroe is a bench guy, whoever he is. Could be one of the Tengen people.
I know who Peart and Lifeson are, weird to see them on this game. There's also a Lee (Manny), but he's an actual player too. Mike Schmidt isn't on '83 Philly, but Lifeson is in the cleanup spot with 30 homers, heh heh. There's also a guy on '83 Baltimore with the name LESTATS, he's got 28 homers, but I don't think he's an actual MLB'er.
Mookie Wilson, George Bell, Boggs, Sandberg, Strawberry, Howard Johnson, McGwire, Canseco, Dykstra, and Pedro Guerrero all appear on at least 4 different teams on this (quite a few pitchers too). It's probably not like playing the RBI Arcade game, but it's fun to hit with the older versions of some of these players.
Hal McRae and Jorge Orta are on both '84 & '85 KC (HM Left, and JO First), so is Onix Concepcion (OC Short) and Buddy Biancalana (BB Short). 1984 Detroit has Barbaro Garbey (BG First), I never heard of him before. Lance Johnson is on '87 St. Louis, he's pretty fast still.
Here are some of the other names I found that aren't that familiar:
Grant, Philbroo, Wileford, Kuhl, Webber. Kuhl bats 9th on the '83 White Sox and has 22 homers...
there are many notable agels missing from the 86 team:
jackson, decinces, grich, hendrick, burleson, ruppert jones (all of whom i think were retired by 1990)
there is no one else who played for the angels, so they made up woodroe.
they could have used a pitcher to fill the roster spot, but they didn't. at least the fictitious woodroe guy had good stats.
LOL they could have come up with a better name, but this one just makes me laugh. Lol, Woodroe....... He's got one of the best averages in the whole game, even including the Tengen Team players, actually I think it's better than any of them. Might just be the best one in the game.

i'm sure this must have been covered in another thread...but if it hasn't, the members of Rush are apparently in RBI 3. if this still hasn't been figured out, I should have kept it a secret, as it can easily fuel BDawk's "Rush Sucks" argument
isnt the "Boston Bench" a sex move?
rbi 3 doesn't suck as much as rbi 2. so it has that going for itself, which is nice.
