Are pitchers capable of hitting homeruns?

[capt_taco]

I've said it before, but once again: You can definitely hit a wallzie with a pitcher. I've done it twice -- once with Saberhagen in '88 or '89 when I was a little kid, and once with Krukow last summer.

I also had the computer hit one off me as a little kid; I think it was Sutcliffe. I was pissed.

So, it can definitely happen, but I've only ever seen it be a wallzie; no clearing the fence. I've also never seen a left-handed pitcher come anywhere close.

[Shooty]

I've played thousands of games of RBI and the best I've ever seen is a long fly ball from Nolan Ryan.  I am very sceptical of the Pircher HR.  I vote No.

[Gantry]

Not a wallzie.  It was a normal flyball that barely cleared the wall down the line.

You sure about this Ryno?  If so, you are the first person on record saying they hit a non-wallzie pitcher homer...

As sure as I can be. .. . . .it happened a long long long time ago. . . .88 or 89.

I know for sure it was a homer.

I'm more than 50 percent sure that it wasn't a wallzie.


Hopefully I've not committed perjury.


I'm tired.

You people wanted me to jump off a bridge and I did.

Now my kids won't cry.

It was a wallzie

[BeeJay]

Ryno was clearly on meth when he supposedly hit this homerun, so I believe it deserves an asterisk in the record books.  I've called Hjose Canseco and he's going to write a book about it, and Congress is convening on whether or not to pull the plug on Ryno.

I'm 28.. . .not 18. .. . or 8. . . .. .. I'm tired. .     .I may have to sit out this season.

Babe Ruth is white.

Rick Sutcliffe hit a homer.

I let hJose inject me. . .. . . . .it was dreamy.

[fightonusc]

It wasn't hjose who injected you...it was me, wearing a hjose canseco punch out mask.

To quote Archibald Cunningham from "Rob Roy": "Think of yourself a scabbard, Mistress Ryno, and I the sword. And a fine fit you were, too. "

Just because it has never happened, doesn't mean it never will.
There's gotta be a way to determine it, though.
If it's completely impossible, maybe it's programmed into the game. Or a players power number determines the total distance of HR's.

Someone smarter than me: get to work

It can definitely be done.  I did it with Alexander while I was in college.  I was playing Gabe Doyle (son of the current WI governor).
We went absolutely crazy, and went to several dorm rooms and made them shotgun beers (Beast Ice--yuck) with us.
It was a great day in RBI history.
Yes, it was a wall-zie, and the ball hit probably 1 inch up on the base of the wall and looked like it should have been foul.

I would have said that cleering the wall with a pitcher would be impossible, however if Ryno says he did it, I believe it.  I was the biggest disbeliever of hitting any type of homer with a pitcher till I did it myself.

We now have two Dee-Nee members willing to state on record that they've seen/hit a HR (wallzie or otherwise) with a pitcher. That's pretty compelling. Although, these are just online people, so they problem are liars, drug addicts and/or serial killers.

You are 2/3 correct.  I will leave it at that.

After I finish snorting this line of coke, I'm going to kill you.

And that's the truth.

I think if you go through old posts, you'll find more than 2.

[fightonusc]

Well, I know a couple of people heard second-hand accounts, or thought that they remembered it, but conceded that they're memories could be wrong.

It's possible to look into. No idea when I'll have time, so if anyone else wants to try, here's where I'd start ...

Set an execution breakpoint at 0xEE67. This is the random number generator. See when it's called during batting. Write a small patch to skew this, and change those JSRs to the start of the patch, instead of 0xEE67. Something like ...

A9 FF     LDA #$FF
60        RTS

would work.

What say you Fighton, that Ryno could not tell arse from quim?

[capt_taco]

So far I count 3 if you include me, even though I've not been around much for a month or so.

The wallzie definitely happens. I've even had the bleeping COMPUTER hit one against me. Why would you lie about that? That's like admitting you got your dick sucked by your fat, retarded 15-year-old cousin after a ska concert.

Wait, maybe I've said too much... scratch that last part.
