Old RBI Baseball article

[fightonusc]

I don't know if anyone ever saw this. It's a 2003 article from a local paper in Mass. that shows how Grady Little could have been a better manager if he had just learned lessons from RBI Baseball:

Funny article

Although, I wasn't aware that you could play a 162-game season in RBI...or that Roberto Kelly was in the game at all.

If you email him and point out these terrible mistakes, maybe we can get another suicide.

As in Todd?

You will recall that Todd didn't even need an email - my post was enough to drive him to his grave.

Nice article, added to the new Articles section of the Links page.  Thanks to usc for the heads up...

Great fucking article.  Definitely not sure where he gets the 162 game season and Roberto Kelly from, though.

i think the 162 game schedule might have been just something the tufts university crowd did as their league.  roberto kelly is inexcusable.

I can't figure out who he could possibly be confusing Kelly with,

Kirby puckett?  Not too many non-caucasians on the Mn team...

I think it has to be someone not on Minn, because he talked about Reardon dominating the batter.

I would guess somebody on the Cardinals or Tigers.  I'm looking over box scores from the '87 LCS and WS.  Reardon gave up a 2 run HR to Pat Sheridan to lose game 3, but it seems difficult to imagine confusing Sheridan and Kelly.

I don't like your tone...

What other teams did Kelly play for, Cincy? 

[fightonusc]

Roberto Kelly was on the Yankees for his first five or six seasons. Could he be confusing him with Willie Randolph, maybe?

Maybe we should just email him and ask him.
