At 6 AM on the first day of the season, there was a knock at my door. Outside it was Poseidon Last Name, the center fielder for Novac (RobCo). I asked him what he was doing at my place in New Vegas when he had a game in Novac later that day.

"Don't worry about that," he said. "Lee told me to be here. Besides, I'm trying out one of those prototype motorcycles by that guy out in Nellis. I'll be there as soon as I leave here."

The reason Lee told Last Name to be at my place was because of a disk. Last Name asked me to use my computer, so I powered it on. I was sleepy and cranky but curious.

"It's something my team at RobCo was working on. We just finished it about three hours ago, so I rushed it here. It's the baseball screen."

My eyes lit up with fascination as more behind-the-scenes information was unfolding before my eyes. With the use of a few computer programs, Last Name and his team input data and created a screen of that data with all of the possible outcomes of the league averaged into a final output. Last Name called it the Preseason Predictions Report, so that's what it is.

I asked to get my camera to take a picture of my computer.

"I have one even better for you," Last Name said. He pressed a button on my keyboard I had never used before, at least with any results. It was the "PrtSc" button. "Now, let me just open this up and... bam! Now you can load this straight to your PipBoy and save it to your fancy computer journal."

It was beautiful. I don't know how Boone and Last Name and the rest of the team at RobCo was doing it, but they may have created the single most important thing ever in the history of man: the RNC.

Here's my PipBoy version of the first ever glimpse of the Mojave Baseball League RNC screen:

I was so happy with how much easier this creation was going to make my life that I could not help it but to throw my arms around Last Name. He was really uncomfortable and turned red and shook himself out of my grasp. I felt bad about that, but I was genuinely happy.

We talked about what was on the page a little. It looked like there could be a Mojave Series rematch between the Lucky 38s and the Bears, though Sunset Sarsaparilla was geared to make a run. We also talked about the prediction that Novac would be the worst team in the league.

"Don't you worry about that," Last Name said. "We'll surprise everybody, even our master computer."

Thanks for the predictions, Mr. Last Name. Now it was time for baseball.
