Pudge77 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yeah it is. They had a segment about him on Baseball Tonight talking about how he is making a comeback with the Royals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav3rek Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 yep, here's the story... Through 2006, his Major League career consists of a single plate appearance for the Chicago Cubs. It was against the Florida Marlins on July 9, 2005, during which he was hit directly in the back of his head by a 91 mile per hour fastball on the very first pitch from Valerio de los Santos while pinch hitting in the 9th inning. "The first thing going through your mind is, 'This guy's dead,'" de los Santos said.[5] Greenberg, suffered a mild concussion as a result of the beaning, and still suffers from positional vertigo. "Just bending over to tie my shoe left me with headaches for hours," he said. For weeks, Greenberg slept upright, the only way to tolerate the excruciating headaches.[6] He spent the rest of the 2005 season on the 15-day disabled list. His on-base percentage is 1.000 and, having zero at-bats and no chances on defense, he has no batting average or fielding percentage. While many players have had careers consisting of a single at-bat, Fred Van Dusen is the only other player to be hit with a pitch in his first at bat without taking the field. That was on September 11, 1955, while Van Dusen was playing for the Philadelphia Phillies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfgiantsflgators Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hopefully he performs well enough to get a call up at some point in your dynasty. He seems like a hell of a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcrunner4623 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Back to my point about raising difficulty. Blowouts get old quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Back to my point about raising difficulty. Blowouts get old quickly. I agree with xcrunner, but as I've always stated, if that's the way you enjoy playing the game, then by all means keep going. Blowouts happen, but I personally would rather have at least lower hit totals in each game. But anyway, the dynasty is great, and your choice of pics in your layouts are great.

And - you seem to get all sorts of funky screenshots, did you up the replay frequency or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav3rek Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 as for the difficulty...I recently upped it to All-Star, but I'm still winning games by bunches and it does get old quickly. I think I'll play the next 2 series on All-Star and if things are still crazy like this I'll move on up to MVP. as for the replays..They are just cutscenes. I usually watch them to get the best replay angles for my pics. Some of them are manual replays that I did to get a better angle, but for the most part they are just the regular cutscenes. Thanks for the comments guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav3rek Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control, this dynasty will have to go on unfinished. while trying to change the managers cyberface to pete rose, I messed up the dynasty and now the file is corrupted.... it sucks I know, but I will be back BIGGER AND BETTER than ever. look for my new San Diego Padres dynasty to come soon.... Pete Rose will be the manager there, and is in fact all ready to go cyberface and all!!!! Sorry folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stEdfuNk Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 blah, i was in the process of making a padres dynasty ;[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav3rek Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 by all means feel free... each dynasty has it's own look and feel to it. We could both have a Padres dynasty and they could end up being 2 completely different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stEdfuNk Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 yeah true, its just im not really that great graphics wise so theyre gonna look at the "good" padres one but it's all good it's barely gonna be my first dynasty and I'm not that familiar with photoshop so it'll be a learning experience for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespungo Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Well this is a big disappointment, I was really enjoying your screenshots of my concept jerseys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav3rek Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 that's one of the things I'm most upset about. Those jerseys are awesome! I love the pinstripe ones. I was using those as the primary home/away ones. I had also been using the tan or gold one here and there also. I've used all of them, but those ones were my favorites.
