Randomly Post The First RBI Baseball-Related Thing That Pops Into Your Head

Yep, takes a shitty human being to haze.

It's the main reason I'm glad I only did individual sports (tennis and bowling) in high school.

It was never a thing in my school - I was on the football, basketball, and track teams, and I never encountered anything more severe than the seniors making the freshmen carry their pads back to the locker room from the practice field.  I always wonder when I hear these stories if we were the exception or the norm.

Roger McDowell still getting paid for being the second spitter:

I'd like a team to have the balls to hire hJose as their manager.

Manny Ramirez once gave Tim Ellis Burks a boner

"(Ramirez) put three 100mg Viagras in it. So here we go, somebody needs to taste this to see if it works," Martinez said. "So we decided to let Ellis Burks try to taste it and I say, 'You know, this mamajuana, if you drink it, you might get turned on.' He said, 'Oh, I'll try it. I'll try it. I'm not playing anyway.' So he took it, it seemed like it worked. So everybody was coming up to him for a little shot."

Rob Neyer got a list of the oldest living player for each franchise... and Wade Boggs makes the list, as the Oldest Living Tampa Bay Ray.

Heard on the Twins broadcast last night: The signature on Dan Gladden's Louisville Slugger bats was not actually his - he had his wife do it because she had nicer-looking handwriting.

So I made a post on a Nintendo VS Arcade system board to see if I could swap out the Castlevania side of the machine I got from gantry for a different game.  I have a verbal agreement with a dude who lives in the suburbs to switch out Castlevania for a Super Mario Brothers. 

He was asking me about RBI because I told him that's the reason I had the machine and mentioned this site.  He said that there are two versions of the RBI arcade machine (they have slightly different title screens) but for some reason he's never played both versions, even though he owns them both.  Does anyone hear know about any different versions of arcade RBI?  I'm assuming that they are pretty much identical, but I told him I'd ask.

This probably doesn't help but there is a stand up version and a cocktail type sit down version maybe that's what he was referring to?

No, he is referring to the actual boards/circuits/whatever you call them, not the form factor of the game.

I have never heard of this.  Heading to a ROM site now to see if they have separate dumps...

[BeefMaster]

planetemu.net has two ROM sets for Vs. Atari RBI Baseball:

Set 1
Set 2

No way for me to try them out at the moment, but would be worthwhile to check out if someone's got a MAME setup handy.

separate dumps...

I laughed.

Now have Super Mario Brothers in where Castlevania was. The dude who swapped me is something else. He's like shooty on collecting steroids. Has 17 arcade machines and three deloreans. He also has a huge display from a Delorean dealership in his garage.

For those of you who don't read the AG board, RBI Sporcle:

I made this one for you people.  If you like this, I can do a much harder RBI Arcade version:
