OFFICIAL WIS XVIII THREAD: An Ode to Claude Hendrix (3 Viewers)

Random observations:

It's funny how much the game has changed over time. George Sisler had 14 K's in 688 PA's and Paul Waner had 14 K's in 746 PA's. Those are just insane numbers when compared to players today.

Out of my six batters, none of them have double digit HR's. I need to address that...

Wow, outside of Thomas, the rest of my hitters barely combine for double digit homers. Ouch.

One of my favorite parts of this draft are the comments on the GoogleDoc.

"We built this for you..." makes me laugh every single ####### time I open the Doc.

One of my all time fav players. When I was in Jr. High School, I had a PC baseball game that used real time historic players. Back then, it was batting average, HRs and RBI's that seemed to affect the "engine" the most, but the cool thing is that while it utilized real historic players, you still could manually pitch and swing and field. It also used the real historic ballparks, primitive graphics and all, and compiled season stats. Loved the baker bowl.

As basic as the game was, especially graphics (we are talking 1987-88, maybe '89), it is still one of the most fun and best interfaced games I've ever played. It gave you the ability to "control" a curve, the swing, etc long before the game consoles did it seems.

Anyhoo - Kiki, with one year with a huge average, was in the game and rocked.
