PoisonMaddux · 04-18-2003, 12:32 AM

JWay · 04-18-2003, 12:34 AM

LivnLegend · 04-18-2003, 12:42 AM

Is that for real?
Would love to find a pic of Lenny Randle trying to blow that ball foul in the Kingdome.

wireman · 04-18-2003, 12:42 AM

I saw it once in OOTP4.

Psicosis · 04-18-2003, 01:00 AM

Wow, that IS a bizarre play!

Folderol · 04-18-2003, 01:18 AM

Played probably over a thousand games out, never seen that one happen. Thanks for the glimpse!

Folderol!

and, at the same time that this is the 1st topic in this section, the 1st topic in OT right now is titled "my own personal deep throat".

magicmike · 04-18-2003, 02:51 AM

Oh, that's great! See what you simmers are missing out on

(Granted, you might play a thousand games and never see something like this, but . . . you get the idea.)

Dwolfson20 · 04-18-2003, 03:07 AM

That's awesome... I love those rare play-by-play occurances.

Dargone · 04-18-2003, 03:30 AM

I swear I thought this thread would have some mention of Mike Piazza.

asaintsfan · 04-18-2003, 08:25 AM

I've done this myself in a college game. It's not cheating - it's overcoming and adapting to an open situation.

I've played thousands of games on OOTP5 and still havent seen that play!!

Highlander · 04-18-2003, 08:50 AM

I've played tons of games myself, and never saw that one either....just when you think you've seen all the play-by-play calls, a new one seems to pop up!!!

I saw someone do that in a replay of a MLB game. I believe it was during a "This Week in Baseball." It was the part where "You Make the Call." Some third baseman did exactly what was described... fell flat on his belly and blew the ball foul. I don't remember the team, but I am almost certain it was on turf.

The correct call was not a "K" or even a foul ball. The batter was awarded first base. The 3B had interefered to directly change the course of the ball (that was not the exact language... this was over 10 years ago and I have had many beers since then).

LedgerSko · 04-18-2003, 01:44 PM

Billy Buck should have tried that.

Yes, it was Lenny Randle. I referred to it earlier in the thread.
It was in the Kingdome.
