Great Moments in Internet Sports History

The Scene: Shea Stadium, 1986.

The Game: RBI Baseball re-enacting Game 6.

The Commentary: Vin Scully.

In one of the best mashups I've every seen, this guy redid Game 6 of the 1986 World Series playing RBI Baseball for the Nintendo. And then he layered Vin Scully's call over the video. It's an absolute must see.

Watch the Met's comeback and win

If you look at the final score screen...

..One team has 26 K's, the other has 29. I'm thinking once the had the scores right they just K'ed through the other 8 innings.

Don't you miss the days of martinis and greenies?

just pure brilliance.

Must have been brutal for the person who made it though.

Actually, with emulators, it's not too tough

You can save the state whenever you want on your computer, and just hit a key to redo it from the save state.

That video was awesome. I loved RBI Baseball.

I found that you could go into the stands in the corners of the outfield

Isn't it amazing......

how a play-by-play guy can make a poorly rendered video game compelling drama? Hat's off to the creator of that gem.

RBI Baseball's graphics were primitive...

...but the audio's WAY ahead of its time! ;)
