The Game Watcher/Player Bucket List

The_Offspring187 · 11-25-2020, 10:50 PM

For those who manage or watch every game:

What's your personal bucket list items you've seen?

For me, I've watched a no hitter, a perfect game, a bench clearing brawl, a trick play executed that worked, and have also seen a straight steal of home.

Some things I'd still like to see:

-- An immaculate inning
-- 3 or 4 homer game (most I've watched have been 2 homer games)

What are some of your bucket items you've seen or are wanting to see?

Instead of an immaculate inning how about a 3 pitch/ 3 outs inning.
Switch hitter going deep from both sides of the plate. I may have seen this.

I was recently the victim of a 3 home run barrage. Damn you, Jim Thome!!

I haven't seen an immaculate inning or a 3-pitch inning. I haven't seen a trick play or a straight steal of home either. I haven't seen an OF rob someone of a home run yet.

I have seen many brawls, two inside-the-park home runs, a triple play, my man Bernie Williams went yard from both sides of the plate and I've had it happen to me.

Saw my first triple play recently.

Here's a couple 4 homer games I've witnessed -

That's awesome. In my fictional league that has been going over 120 years, I've had ONE 4 homer game in the entire history of the league. I didnt see that one though.

What trick plays have you seen ? TY

Bluenoser · 11-26-2020, 12:57 PM

Back in OOTP 15 or 16 (can't remember now) I had a player who's 500th home run was also his 2500th career hit, so he accomplished 2 milestones in that 1 at bat. What made it really special was he came into the game with 2497 hits and 499 HR's. He got 2 singles and hit the homer in his 3rd AB.

I've seen Billy Hamilton hit 3 HR in game - too bad my computer crashed and it didn't save. He didn't hit a HR all season after that. Baseball can be crazy.

An infielder kept the ball in his glove after a play from the outfielder, and ended up tagging out the runner on third when he started to take his lead for the next play. It happened at third base which really blew my mind.

Several versions ago I had my team win Game 7 of the World Series after having fallen behind in the the top of the 17th inning by 2 runs.

I've had Ray Lankford straight steal home against me. First time I'd seen that since I started playing with OOTP9.

The_Offspring187 · 11-27-2020, 01:55 PM

For those that have seen triple plays: I've seen one or two of those as well. But has anyone out there seen an unassisted triple play? I myself have not but I am curious if it's a possibility coded into the commentary of the game.

The only one I witnessed was 5-4-3. Would be awesome to see an unassisted one for sure.

I'm pretty sure I've seen 2 in this league and I believe both were 5-4-3 as well. I know at least one was.

How about going 7 for 7 in a 9 inning game

That is truly a rare feat. Were you on the receiving or delivering end of this 7 for 7 hit barrage?

Just a spectator

The_Offspring187 · 11-30-2020, 07:03 PM

I had a hidden ball trick happen against me this time. I couldn't catch it in enough time on the commentary but the Game Log lists it as a hidden ball trick!

The_Offspring187 · 11-30-2020, 10:18 PM

I'm on some kind of bucket list roll because I just saw my first personal cycle. I know they happen several times a year but I'd never witnessed one watching each of my team's games play out.

Art Deco · 12-01-2020, 09:57 AM

I've probably played out nearly 2000 games and I saw this happen for the first time:

The animation on it was hilarious, the ball ricocheted all the way from between 1st and 2nd back to foul territory just up the 1st base line from home plate, if it hit the runner that hard in real life he'd have a broken leg (or a severed one). It happened so fast I had no idea what the heck happened until I read it in the play-by-play.
