Interesting Age Gap

markgrace · 06-02-2003, 02:58 PM

So there's a young phenom in my solo legaue name Mo-Ri Namboku Jr. (what's up with the dash in the name btw? i dunno any japanese people with hyphens in their first names...) He is 22 years old. I vaguley remembered his father Mo-Ri Senior, and decided to look him up and see what kind of a player he was. It seems Senior had just retired the year his son entered the draft, and Senior was only 38 years old

My math is pretty bad, but it seems that Mo-Ri senior might have had a little "accident" durning his high school years.

Granted it is completely possible from a biological standpoint, it just seems a bit silly within the context of the game.

I've seen younger cases that that. Kids these days.

I started a manager career as a ten year old and I had a wife and three kids. I was some kind of stud, let me tell ya.

I guess they took him to the Gold Club when they signed him at 16.

ctorg · 06-02-2003, 03:44 PM

I also once had a 25-year-old go down with a career ending injury and his son show up in the draft within a couple of years.

How do you guys know it is his son and what not. Just guessing by the last names or does it say something.

Gastric ReFlux · 06-02-2003, 04:40 PM

The Jr. at the end of the name.

markgrace · 06-02-2003, 07:50 PM

yeah I suppose it could be some other Mo-Ri Namboku's son, but im pretty sure the point is that it's the player's kid.

markgrace · 06-02-2003, 07:51 PM

oh and it doesn't matter anyway. after 40 years, my schedule got all F'ed up, so i had to scrap the whole league...

It was a Jr.

The game makes Jr.'s out of random retired players.

Man, when I look at markgrace's avatar, I get sad. I will always remember Grace as a Cub, but you have to go where the money is.

Sorry to hijack the post. I won't again.

markgrace · 06-03-2003, 10:29 AM

Big Willis 16 · 06-03-2003, 07:45 PM

That's a decent picture of him? That's about the ugliest mug I've ever seen.

markgrace · 06-03-2003, 07:55 PM

true, but there was a time when marky mark was one of chicago's most notorious playboys...

kq76 · 06-03-2003, 07:57 PM

oh yeah, with fat chicks, I forgot.

I don't mean to knock fat chicks, I actually prefer them. I'm just poking fun at Mark Grace's "playboy" image.
