All STar Squads - The Way they should have been

[Mike D.]

Ivan Calderon Perez (March 19, 1962 - December 27, 2003), better known as Ivan Calderon, was a Puerto Rican Major League Baseball player from 1984 to 1993 and was named an All-Star in 1991. He was murdered December 27, 2003 in a bar in Loiza, Puerto Rico. Shot five to seven times in the head, he died instantly. Local police suspect mafia involvement in the murder.

Christ, the least we can do is include him as an All-Star.

Kevin Seitzer played for KC, not Texas.

Yes, I know.

What I'm saying is that why didn't they put a Ranger on the bench instead of KC's Seitzer as the Royals already had 2 other players in the game.  Was it really that necessary to have Seitzer in the game?  I'm from Toronto so I was lucky that my home team was amply represented in RBI.  But I'm just trying to look at this as if I were a kid in '88 growing up in Seattle or Texas.  I would think, why the fuck doesn't my team have someone in RBI Baseball?  Imagine how heartbroken you would be.  I would equate it to having Santa Claus kick you in the balls.

Damn, that's messed up.

Shooty - Sorry, I misunderstood your last post! I agree - I was a Giants fan growing up, so I was happy with having my whole team in RBI. If I were a Seattle or Texas fan, for example, I'd be pissed if I couldn't get someone in the game. Especially when it's not that hard to do without taking total scrubs...

Now, GDavis, if we did that, how could any other teams compete? It would be like having a team of Supermans against mere mortals...

[Shooty]

Who would win...a team of Pedriques or the '85 Bears?

[Mike D.]

Ditka.

They could only play against an all-Schroeder AL all stars team.

[BDawk]

Mini Ditkas vs team of pedriqes.

BEARSSS...

C - Larry Parrish (Tex) - .268 BA, 32 HR, 100 RBI, .483 SLG, .811 OPS, 3 SB

Awesome job!  I just want to point out that Larry Parrish never spent even 1 inning as catcher in the major leagues...and if you meant Lance Parrish, he was in the NL (Phillies) by '87.

[BeefMaster]

Lance is the catcher for the AL all-stars in RBI 3, if you acknowledge that game's existence.

Well, fuck my ass with a rusty chainsaw, and fuck Mrs. Parrish for naming her sons so similarly...

I'm still leaving Larry "Dont Call Me Brother" Parrish on the bench instead of Sierra. And, I'm sorry, that's going to move Robin Yount out of the lineup. And, at catcher, I'll take Terry Steinbach of Oakland (he doesn't have a brother named Jerry, does he?) ahead of Schroeder or Fisk (better BA and OPS than Fisk, played a lot more games than Schroeder).

I didn't know they were related.

[fightonusc]

They would never publicly admit to being brothers. They are actually the product of cousins having sex.
