The mag has an article about MLB 08 coming out for PS3 and it features a side text about Ryan Howard with a few words about him and how he feels about the game.
QuoteWhen Ryan Howard finally gets to play MLB 08, he says he won't hesitate to pick the Phillies - despite the team's long, hard run in 2007:"Last year was rough; we suffered so many injuries. But it's a new team with a lot of energy, good pitching and good defense. We're going to be fun." The same can be said about Howard himself, one of the fiercest video game hitters since Darryl Strawberry rocked R.B.I. Baseball. "Everyone fears the home run," says the slugger. "And if Sony wants to add a few more attribute points to me because I'm on the cover, I'll take it. Being in a video game, let alone on the cover, is every boy's dream."
Why would they choose Strawberry as the best RBI hitter?
Ignorance...
I'm sure they were trying to compare him to a young, black lefty with lots of power.

Know what would be cool? A team with 9 first basemen!
