With vin scully's call over the game and everything.

that was cool. must have taken a long time and a lot of dedication to coordinate all that.
This may be the best RBI related thing ever (outside of Dee-Nee itself), better than the guy that got Tony Pena to send a letter to his friend.
Terrific
My only complaint is that he should have showed the series as 3-3 after the game
That is one of the most awesome things I have ever seen. I especially liked their use of the RBI guy as the picture when Marty Barrett was named Player of the Game.
I thought the same thing as Ultimate with the series thing, but that's especially a nitpick at this point.
Did anyone know whether the hit numbers were accurate? That would've been a nice touch, too, although it's also a nitpick. That guy already put a buttload of work into this video.
Has anyone submitted this to the Sports Guy's links?

I almost lost it when that came on the screen
The last hit was clearly the hardest, I wonder how many "takes"
That's just the tops

The box scores were not accurate as I think there was 56 K's combined. Again, just a nitpick as it clearly is a work of genius.
This is an excellent use of one's time. Awesome work, just awesome.
Somebody sent me a link to this at work today...is that guy's blog pretty popular or something? I doubt my co-worker was doing google searches on RBI baseball.
Hendu should have given more effort on Ray Knight's hit.
I was interested in seeing whether they were going to make Buckner BOP or just have him miss the ball. the BOP seems the right way to go but something about the ball staying in the infield doesn't feel right.

Baseball Simulator 1.000 has errors go through the player, rather than BOPs. I agree that the BOP was the right way to go, but yeah, it did seem weird.

ahhh...that explains it.
Unfuckingbelievable. wow wow wow.
Glad to see that they are practicing safe sex.
since i really can't have hard feelings about the 1986 series, i can safely say that was the coolest thing i have seen on the internet in more time than i can remember (approximately august '05, when i signed up here). the miller lite player of the game scene had me choking from laughter.

Hey guys, I made that video and had to swing in to see what the good people at dee-nee.com had to say. I figured that some people would notice those two statistics, the series game total and the strikeouts. I kept hte hits accurate, the runs scored in the right innings, but striking guys out was by far the easiest way to get to the bottom of the tenth the fastest so i thought the trade off was well worth it. it probably took about ten hours total, four to emulate the footage, six or so to edit. but that's a mere drop in the bucket in terms of total time in my life spent playing RBI, so it was truly a labor of love. God bless the internet and god bless RBI Baseball.
Good job, bro. Can you do one of coleman throwing a firecracker?
Yes--that was a quality, quality video. I salute you. Would you mind if "we" put the video on "our" site to keep it forever in the RBI files?
Also, I'm officially calling for more RBI video. Awesome touch on the Marty Barrett Miller Light Player of the Game.
QuoteI kept hte hits accurate, the runs scored in the right innings
I noticed the runs, and I thought maybe the hits were accurate as well.
Great, great work.

I agree - now that we have the ROM editor, more classic moments should be recreated.
1985
Nice work, Teddy
TBG officially kills me.
I like how everyone just gathered around to watch. It would have been enjoyable if the first base ump was still in his "Out" position though.
i didn't really know how to stage the picture. basically this incident happened before the game during batting practivce i believe, and was before the fourth game of the nlcs against the dodgers.
so use the picture as inspiration. there's all sorts of incidents worthy of a few artistic efforts. some other ideas include:
george brett pine-tar incident. reggie's three-homer game against the dodgers in the world series. the canseco homerun bop off his head, etc.
Also from the 1985 World Series, the infamous Don Denkinger play in Game 6.
awesome
Seriously, I expect emails, PMs and pages if I let such threads slip by me. This is the first time I saw it and I all I can say is "awesome"
Thanks for the headline gantry or whoever else may have been behind that for it may have slipped by me.
That's awesome to quote everybody else. Having Scully on the mic makes this unbeatable. I've never actually seen or heard the complete inning, what a backbreaker.
great job TBG...that also looks like one great big tasty vince coleman burrito....hold the willie mcgee.
im also on board by losing it when i saw marty barrett as player of the game. fkn killer stuff.
Vin Scully = best announcer ever

Haha, he gives a shout out to the Mobile leprechaun
"I could just sort of kick back for a whole weekend and be like: 'Yeah, for this brief period in time; I am the man.'"
As fscking cool as the whole thing is, i find it disappointing that anyone that would try and do something similar is looked down upon (in reference to the Fox article). I'm having a hard time believing that this was the first time this has ever been done in the history of gaming. Perhaps it is the best attempt yet but it would be no less great if it had been done before in similar fashion.
The music comparison is exactly why this claim is horse puckey. To think that "Seriously, it's like The Vines following in the footsteps of The White Stripes or The Strokes" is proof that it'd be "pathetic" isn't scoring any points. If dude doesn't comprehend that TWS and The Strokes are completely ripping off bands that came before them, then that is sad.
Really, the vid is great and I've passed the link on to some people. Even made the wife watch it! Just not down with the attitude that came with the 15 minutes. That is why I dig most of you guys here. It is rare that anyone comes off as being overly superior to someone else without a little genuine self deprecation thrown in at some point. :)
I'm completely with the guy when he said that it'd be pathetic.
Obviously reenacting using MVP 2005 or Madden is ridiculously easy to do, to do this was tough and I have a hard time believing that it had been done before.
I may be wrong, but everyone rips of everyone else in the music industry, this is new, and completely original and it would be pathetic for someone to rip it off.
Plus, really, what else can you reenact that would be nearly as interesting as game 6?

USC's Deckinger call was pretty good, TBG's Coleman was decent, but I'm not sure how accurate
you can do so much more with the still images, i wouldn't even consider it the same genre.
gibson's game 1 homer of 88 would be pretty easy to pull off in a video.
I'd like to see Pedro Guerrero doing lines

A few months ago, Sony recreated "The Play" using an electric football game for a commercial promoting HD.
I didn't mean that the specific inning or game had been done before. I meant that there was more than a good chance that someone had messed around and done something very similar in concept at some point in the past. I also didn't mean that it would have been done using any of the newer games on the market.
You're not wrong about the music thing, Kipsilanti. That was my point. He used a really bad example to support his belief.
I'd stated in another thread that the Gibson home run would have been great. It would not have been required to be nearly as long and could have probably been done more easily overall. The thing that stands out as being the most difficult thing of that game (inning) would have been the two strike roller up the first base line that went foul before the HR. Well, that and the tail lights on the cars beyond the outfield wall of those that left the game early ;)
I also disagree with him on that it would have been a waste of time if only a small number of people would have seen it. It should be rewarding regardless since it is a fine piece of work. And as I said, it is excellent and am glad he did it.
Gerlost, you're right. I'd forgotten about that. Obviously not identical but very similar in concept. Both are pretty entertaining.

Have you met Rack?
Gantry creates an entire online empire of RBI love, gets people of all different backgrounds to contribute to the RBI cause on a daily basis, and what thanks does he get?
DAMNIT!
I missed TBG's tarp picture until just now and I think I hurt my shoulder laughing so hard. Fkn gold, TBG, gold, I tell you.
Shooty, I thought I covered my ass in those statements by including the words "most" and "rare" ;)
fathedX, the tarp pic is indeed priceless!
Another still that would be easily re-created would be the "Jose Canseco- ball of his head in the outfield for a HR" shot. The RBI player animations for a BOP would be perfect for it.

The thing that makes game 6 great though, is that it's using almost only RBIers (obviously a few exceptions).
Eckersley wasn't in RBI, Gibson wasn't on the Dodgers in RBI, Canseco wasn't on the Rangers in RBI (Neither was Carlos Martinez), so sure, you can do it, but nothing will come close to as good as this was, ever.
Plus, this was the reenactment of more than just one play (Denkinger, Gibby's HR, Canseco's HR, so on), so it was much more difficult and much, much more impressive.
so did he give you your grilled cheese sandwich yet?
i just hope they don't do one of the angels and boston recreating game 4. then rbi donnie moore may off himself.

That would be a good one to do
But who called that game?
I think the play-by-play has as much to do as the recreation.
Doing a Blades of Steel or Ice Hockey recreation of the Miracle on Ice with Al Michaels call would be the cat's meow.
Al Mochaels actually did the call of the Dave Henderson HR against the Angels in the 1986 ALCS. I believe that Jim Palmer was the color guy, although it might possibly have been Moe Jorgan.
This film just made the front page of /. (http://games.slashdot.org/games/06/04/30/194205.shtml). Maybe we'll see increased interest in RBI!
Ok, probably not. But I was still shocked to see it ...
bumpst.
Bump. We watched this at Chaddonis's bachelor party this past weekend.
