    I remember playing slug fest 2004. That was nuts. Beaning too much could lead to the batter catching on fire and charging the mound, the pitcher could win the fight leading to him catching on fire.
    I got an infield hit one time (which perfectly mirrored how I played baseball irl) and my friends were like “of course you would manage that in this game.”

I remember I was playing the home run Derby and he had a brand new computer so I put the controller down and was watching him play some game he was playing and the ball continued to be thrown in the home run Derby but no one was swinging cuz I didn't have the controller in my hand. And the commentators started to insult me for not swinging. I forget what the first thing they said was, but the second line was hey kid with the controller you ARE UP. TO. BAT. haha hilarious
