Career over.... but made me smile

bpfenway · 09-15-2012, 12:27 AM

Just started the 1991 season and I re-signed Bonds to a 1-year deal. Seven days later his career is over with a skull fracture! how freaking sweet is this game?

Big loss for my team but it is moments like this that make this game amazing. Farewell Barry with your 190 career HR's.

Skull fracture? Bonds? Did somebody hit him with a sledge hammer or something?

Oh, wait a minute. 1991 . . .

I bet Jim Leyland did it.

Yeah 91' the sledge would've been bigger than him so good chance.

So instead of using designer steroids he is simply a crack head............

And good riddance. The game today would be much better off if he did get a CEI then.

Cracked head, not crack head.

In my perfect OOTP world Hank can hold onto the HR record a little longer.

The Wolf · 09-16-2012, 10:13 AM

Hank still holds the record. Disregard Pumpkin Head.

With that oversized melon of his presenting such a big target, I'm surprised Bonds didn't take more pitches to the head.

I didn't know Eddie Murphy played for the Pirates before he became an actor.

it ain't pro sports if you ain't cheating

Actually we don't know that it was a pitch that cracked his skull. I figure maybe his ego was so huge his skull cracked from the inside to relieve the pressure.

bwburke94 · 09-17-2012, 10:44 AM

Of course, if CatKnight had his way, Bonds would be killed off by the skull fracture instead of just having to retire. (Hey, that's how Ray Chapman died...)

Good to see you around, CK.

Starting a 1998 Dynasty with the Red Sox. Hope a CEI happens to Bonds, McGwire, Sosa ASAP lol

Two words: commissioner mode.
