I think it'll be 2007.
At that point, it'll be 21 years, and I don't think anyone can play 21+ years in the ML.
We should have some sort of dee-nee memorial service when the last RBI'er retires. All the regulars meet up somewhere to mourn and spend 2-3 days playing RBI and drinking. I bet the Sports Guy would come, would be quite the event....
Whenever Julio Franco dies. Could be a while guys

Count me in...
Probably about five years from now, I would think.
It would be amazing if all the members could some how get tickets to whatever the game is that features the last appearance by an RBIer, we could possibly storm the field to finally get Dee Nee message to the country. On a related note, In Boston today the Red Sox played their last regular season home game where they crushed the Yanks. In the 8th with the Red Sox up big the crowd started a "we want Ellis" chant, being that this could be his last game in Boston, Francona did not comply and we did not get to see Ellis, insted we got Guiterez, sigh.
On storming the field...
A few of my fraternity brothers tried this in Pittsburgh one time, and apparantly it's a big deal. They got tossed in jail, and they were gonna fine him (I think it was a couple thousand dollars).
They got out of it because one of the guys had cancer, and it was one thing he wanted to do before he died... He's ok now.

Especially because he's a robot.
A sexy robot.
I love this thread because it says poll and has no actual poll.
2007 is my guess. On the exact date the first game was made--I don't know the exact date--probably October 24th--every person who is in the game will die. Except Donnie Moore, of course--he'll come back from the grave as a zombie. And some rookie named Tim Burks will get his first shot with the Sox.
