Ok, this is a big task but if you're as bored as I am you may be up to it.
Start on a wikipedia page for a player from the NES version and cycle through EVERY player from that version. That's 160 wiki pages.
-No visiting the same page twice
-No pages that aren't specific to an individual player (so no Trammel to Detroit Tigers, Detroit Tigers to Darrel Evans... must be Trammel to Evans directly)
I don't know that this can even be done, or how long it would take to figure out the best path. Just a fun little challenge for anyone who thinks they're up to it.
I have absolutely no idea what you want me to do
Get to a wikipedia page for each and every player on the NES version of RBI using only links from the other player's pages.
For example:
Start at Bill Buckner
Link to Mookie Wilson (from Buckner's article)
Link to Ray Knight (from Mookie's article)
Link to Keith Hernandez (from Ray's article)
Link to Davey Lopes (from Hernandez's article)
And so on until you've reached the page of every player. If Davey Lopes doesn't have any links to anyone else, then you'd have to start over.
So I guess in reality if more than one player is a dead end then this wouldn't work.
Maybe it shoudl just be a competition to see how many you CAN get?
i am going to guess off the bat that Bill Schroeder and Al Pedrique are both dead ends. there's a good chance that Jim Morris, Charlie Kerfeld, and Harry Spilman don't link to other players, either.

Pedrique links to Brenly and Backman.
Schroeder is a dead end.
Morris links to Trammel, Clemens and Whittaker
Kerfeld links to Dave Smith, Gary Carter, Nolan Ryan and Backman
Spilman is a dead end
So you can't do all 160, but 159 is still possible!!!
there is no page for Jim Lindeman...
WIKIPEDIA'D
and JOHN Morris doesn't link to anyone, Jack Morris is who you were thinking of. for shame...
