I've had a couple. I can tell you, it's almost like the real thing in intensity!

Everything slows down to a crawl as you hesitate for seconds, minutes even, before clicking "1-Pitch" with your sweat-drenched mouse. It's like you don't want to, but you must!

Click. You close your eyes and then open them very slowly, squinting through eyelids to see whether the dreaded SINGLE! (or worse) is displayed. When you see an out instead, you breathe a sigh of relief then start working up the courage for the next batter, the next "1-Pitch."

Then, when the last out is recorded and your pitcher has scored his no-no, you yell out "YES!" and, as Nunyer says, you scare the crap out of people sitting in the room with you.

Unless, of course, they are already used to OOTPB-playing nut jobs like me!
