Only one RBI-er made the cut - Tony Armas. I think they picked him because he wasn't a starter, so he got the pinch-hitter boost his first time up. Can't say the rest of the list is too terrible, though, although I haven't played the two newest games on the list.
My "virtual thought" to ESPN:

As the webmaster of one of the Internet's top RBI Baseball sites - http://dee-nee.com/rbi - I have to make a couple corrections on your listing of Tony Armas as one of the all-time video baseball greats. First off, while Armas is a great player, he is the slowest guy in the game. So don't expect him to hit for the cycle too often, double-plays are much more common. Armas wasn't in the starting lineup because all teams in RBI had the pitcher bat, relagating the DH to the bench.
Calvin Schiraldi was actually out of the bullpen in RBI, not the starting rotation. Remember the Boston roster in RBI is from the 1986 (aka Buckner) season, where Calvin was the setup-man and occasional closer.
Though it is debatable, most "in the know" think that Reggie Jackson, Jim Rice or Darrell Evans are the top players in RBI, All-Stars notwithstanding. Still, props for mentioning the greatest game ever made...
And be sure to go to the front page and vote for Tony Armas:

In a tight battle for second place, Griffey with a huge lead...
Has the writer of the article ever played RBI? That's fuckin' ridiculous. Tony Armas? Why didn't they just pick Assby?
Jesse Orosco is more dominant. That article is shite!
