JoeRudi26 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 He is Barry Bonds in cognito. The next great white hope. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endeavor Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 He is Barry Bonds in cognito. The next great white hope. yup. due to rights issues, several players are not featured with their real names, but "realistic" values. Kevin Millaaaaaaar is another example.

Joepritch2 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Most of those not named are former replacement players from the 1994-1995 strike. Damian Miller happens to be one of those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokerman28 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I wonder if they removed him from the roster with the latest updates since he's not playing in real life.. oh wait! that's Bonds not playing. I guess Dowd is still in the game :mrgreen: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr0ube Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 If he was a real player, I know what Chris Berrmann would be calling him... Jeremy "Well-En" Dowd. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy6finger Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Just looked on ESPN's alltime player list...there actually was a John Dowd who played. He played in 1912 for the Yankees 10 games, 31 AB, 6 Hits (.194 Batting avg), 1 Run & 1 2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake21 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 http://www.onlybaseballmatters.com/archive...eball/index.php John Dowd is actually an investigator for sterioids back in the 60's to 80's. Nice factoid, and subtle message from EA...There is more on the real John Dowd out there he was quite well known in his time... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokerman28 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 The heck with Dowd, I created my own player and he's better than Dowd he just cost me like 12 Mil to draft in dynasty mode 8O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitoon Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 http://www.baseball-reference.com/d/dowdjo01.shtml John Leo Dowd was a Yankee back in 1912... Actually, I'm sure I read somewhere that John Dowd is one of the guys on the development team at EA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was woking on a roster and when I hit the Dodgers I was stumped by some guys like Adrian Thomas. I'm just pulling this from my list of replacement players from 1995 that played in 1994, so there might be newer ones that for some reason aren't in the Union licensing agreement. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/legendary/...t_players.shtml Cory Lidle Brendan Donnelly Kerry Lightenberg Brian Daubach Charles Gipson Matt Herges Ron Mahay Tom Martin Frank Menechino Lou Merloni Kevin Millar Damian Miller Eddie Oropesa Keith Osik Shane Spencer Jamie Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
