I have not gotten mine yet but I can not wait.  O BOY O BOY!!!!!

Which one are you looking forward to more: the cartridge, or JoeDirt's limerick?

Dirt drives the ladies mad.
They want his bulge so bad.
They beg and they plead
to get what they need
-it's really so very sad.

One more 'glitch'
We're all aware that there was never a season in which McGwire hit 62 HRs or Canseco hit 54? How'd that happen?

Those are the correct stats, as shown on the original RBI arcade--and that's all that really matters.

I may have it framed.i

[JoeDirt]

So I take it Gantry got the ONE limerick that was not about my buldge?  Figures.  They were all randomly packaged and then I just grabbed 'em and addressed 'em.

And no, Gan-tree, I was not refering specifically to Vit.  I was refering to the those who post political rants in general (and even so, was saying it in fun).

[Gantry]

Your limerick was most dirty and mentioned a lemon party.  It's at the office though so I can't quote it right now.  But I didn't get the bulgeless one...

where can i view the player abilities(power/contact) for this cart? 

as for joe dirts question.....this might reqiure making a few carts of mix and match to let the arcade teams face the regular nes teams.

[RedBarron]

i bet you can view the abilities on nightwulf's editor.

Yes, also somewhere I had an access file attached in the RBI forums, but only can use with the most recent version of Access (I thought I had also put out an Excel file, but last time I searched, I couldn't find it)

It's cool that this cart allows for errors.  One of my pet peeves when playing the arcade game is the lack of BOPs.

I also second the notion that St Louis and New York have great offenses.  However, NY often does not put up very good numbers alot of the time.  I can throw the ball right down the plate against NY and the computer will maybe get 2-4 dingers in a game.  Do they have shitty contact ratings or something?

Although I almost did the improbable with New York against the Computer.  Ending the game with only 10 batters up to the plate.  I got the first 9 across and the 10th batter (Mattingly) only got a single.  

St Louis is great and Medwick is an essential sub.  The Gashouse Gang lives!

Houston is ass.

Here's a text file of the stats

[TbT]

thank you sir!
appreciate it.  i am now officially geeked for this cart to show up, and i had hoped joe would just send pics of his wiener instead of yah know...talking about it. 

[JoeDirt]

but it rhymed--doesn't that make it better?

[ultimate7]

Alvin Dark died yesterday, at some point I thought I was tracking all dead arcade RBIers but I couldn't find anything

[Gantry]

Any chance I can get you to make a page on the wiki to track this?  It's a great resource, wish we would use it more. 

[ultimate7]

I should be able to do it, maybe during Thanksgiving weekend

[ultimate7]

Found my old data, but hadn't been updated since 2005, bunch of deaths since them, I plan to add Date of Birth so we can track oldest living, etc.

[Gantry]

Good man

[ultimate7]

Taking a bit longer, I should be done with whole file soon (maybe within a week), when done, I may need help posting to wiki.
