I am guessing he is now Strassy's favorite player.  He was drafted by the Cubs out of HS, opted instead to attend Illinois State:

That's 5% of RBI players that are dead!

[ultimate7]

But 95% are still alive

[ultimate7]

Bumping this for Baylor and in hopes I update the spreadsheets

[Nacho]

But 95% are still alive

I wonder what year we will cross the 50% threshold.

[ultimate7]

We should start an over/under on the date when the number of dead RBIers matches the number of alive ones.

I just went in and fixed up the Heaven Vs Hell ROM.  Added the dead RBIers.  Puckett and Donnie Moore slot into their roles on the Hell squad.  The rest gain access to Heaven since a quick wikipedia scan showed no reason for Hell.

Pitchers can now MASH - no more freebie outs.

Attached the fixed version here.  Need it to replace the current version on dee-nee's alternate league ROM section.  Gantry - can you assist?

Has anyone ever beat Heaven or Hell?

This has likely been mentioned elsewhere.  Bumping this thread anyhow as sadly Bill Buckner passed away.

Time to update Heaven vs Hell again.

Buckner to Heaven or Hell?

[Gantry]

Seemed like a good dude, I vote Heaven

[nomaaa]

if Boston can forgive him, i'm sure Jesus & St. Peter did too

Went back and watched the Curb Your Enthusiasm ep with Buck in it after hearing the news... literally teared up at the grand finale

Bob Watson on the Arcade Astros passed away yesterday
