Insomniac34 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I'm not sure if this is where this thread belongs, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to put it here. So I'm playing a dynasty with the '07 mod with the Red Sox, and I'm in the 2007 season and playing the Giants for a 3-game series (June 15-17). Coming into the series, Bonds had 19 HR on the season, giving him 753 for his career. First game of the series, he gets a hold of one in the 9th and crushes it for #754. Game two of the series, I'm walking him whenever I can. I simply don't want him breaking the record against me. So I walk him in his first two at bats, but in his third AB, I decide to pitch to him, and he ends up lining a single up the middle. So Bonds is on first, and Ray Durham grounds to Pedroia. Bonds takes out Lugo at second to break up the DP, but get this, he injures himself on the play. Taken out of the game, Lance Niekro in to replace him. I play out the game and check the injury report for the Giants and this is what I see: Torn MCL, out for 141 days (in other words, done for the year). It's unbelievable. One HR away from tying Aaron, and he's done for the season. Has anyone played one full season with the '07 mod and, if so, did Barry retire? As someone who is Anti-Bonds, I can't help but crack a smile at the prospect of him ending his career one HR shy of tying the all-time mark. I know it's just a game, but it's still something to smile about :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insomniac34 Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Here are a couple images I took to document it. Bonds age shows up as 40 because I haven't changed the calendar year in the game to 2007 (still at 2005): Not only did he not reach 755 or 756, but his batting average is just below .300, he fell short of 2000 RBI, 2200 runs, 3000 games played, and 3000 hits. And I decided to sim through the rest of the season and Bonds did, in fact, retire after this one (due to age). Incredible stuff, I love it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchorneau Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hater? Not even, close................When my season started I noticed Bonds hitting alot of hrs and knew he'd get probably break Aaron's record so I went into player edit and slid his numbers down to 1 for contact and power. I saved and went back in and found that he had lterally disapeared from the game, he was gone, not even sent down to A league, and no sign of him, off the stats list, just GONE! Though your story is better, I just had to throw my 2 cents of hate in. I laughed......hard, like I was punishing him, delivering his karma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
