I will openly admit that when I was growing up I was a New York sports fan. I lived in Western New York and had no association with any particular team — so I became a Yankees fan, just because. In that same vain, I rooted for the Mets in the 1986 World Series, and not my beloved Red Sox. Say what you will, but I’m being honest.
I stumbled upon this link last night, which is the complete bottom of the 10th inning of the imfamous Game 6 of the World Series re-inacted using Nintendo’s RBI Baseball.
I don’t mean to bring up bad vibes on the Diatribe, but I found this amazingly compelling. It’s about 8 minutes long and the detail is unbelievable. Thinking about how difficult it must have been to re-inact the inning, let alone get it set up so that the box score lined up correctly, the pitches were fouled off in to the right directions, and balls and strikes were called. Unbelieveable.
Here is the link directly to the smaller WMV file or you can visit the original site and watch the YouTube download.
I love you, LTJ, but I cannot view these clips. That’s all I have to say about that.
