In the interview with Matt Holliday, he says that the team played RBI Baseball on Nintendo in the clubhouse before games during their big playoff run. I guess they didn't want to let the Indians have all the fun.
Good to see SI is still a hard hitting news organization.
RBI's been in the news as a staple of MLB clubhouses several times recently... perhaps Beales needs to arrange for a celebrity host for this year's COTUT. Even better, someone should arrange a Madden Bowl-style tournament at the All-Star game.
I've seen RBI Baseball on a skit off the show SESAME STREET. How weird is that? Two hispanic boy brothers were shown playing it, I'm serious.
When was this?
i also saw the wil smith playing RBI in a still photograph featured as part of his "e! true hollywood story". he was the "fresh prince" at the time...
I saw RBI behind Billy Bob Thonrton anal fucking Halle Berry in Monster's Ball.
I'm guessing around the mid/late 1980's. I think I still acutally have a clip of that on tape, I should check & see.
And it was a different version too, the player names were different, you can see in one shot.
