Imagine a job where you never are allowed to be wrong. One mistake and everyone who deals with you hates you; a job where you're constantly working on egg shells. Scary thought, eh? Well every day baseball umpires have to deal with that sort of crap. There have been books by players and managers, and some even by players and managers but a perspective often overlooked is that of an umpire. A while ago I read Planet of the Umps by Ken Kaiser, a former MLB umpire. The book is a great read as it delves into why umpires become umpires, the life of an umpire, his view of certain players, his hatred of certain managers, and much more. A couple of concepts really stayed with me. One is that they have to be trained not to blink when something is coming straight at them at 100 mph. The book is well written, has a lot of humour, and does a great job of showing what it's like to be an umpire. Anyway, if you're looking to read a book from the unique perspective of an umpire, check it out. You can purchase it from Amazon here.

Here's the video of Will Ferrel pitching in the Round Rock game someone mentioned in the shoutbox: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=haHlFA_bDkI

Canadian Justin Bieber plays a fun game of True or False on a talk show in New Zealand. The question: Is "Bieber" German for basketball? His answer: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=DkKqihEUmH4 "We don't use that word in America." One word for how I felt after watching this video: Disturbed. Before I watched, just based on the title, I thought it was going to be an obvious edit to a Justin Bieber lookalike or something. Not the case.

I'm the modder who created the calculators (batting/fielding/pitching) for MVP. I haven't purchased any of 2K's games, and have no plans to do so. This means that I won't be making calculators for the game. As well, the MVP calculators each took me well over a year to make, so it's no small task. Good luck with your request.

Totally missed this, thanks for this shout-out, emath!

Height in inches. So if someone is 6'3" tall, (6 feet, 3 inches), that would be 75. 12 inches in a foot, 12×6+3=72+3=75

Thank-you very much for the compliment, SeveredSoulX. Much appreciated.

Glad it works! I'm also not a big fan of Excel 2007. The whole "ribbon" thing and the whole "intuitive design" really annoys me. I still use Office 2003, and love it.

Well that should work for you then. Good luck!

I don't think so. Sorry man.

The homerun calculator was just a simple spreadsheet, and didn't contain any macros. That's why it worked. I really have no idea why it worked before for you. Sorry I can't be of any more help. Just so everyone knows as well: my calculators' spreadsheets aren't compatible with the 64-bit version of Windows 7 either. You can however use the Windows XP Virtual Machine to run them.

Oh well. It was just an idea.

Then unfortunately man, I really don't know what to tell you. You could try downloading the April 14th version (version 1.0) , but I doubt it would work as it's the same macro, and has less features. Everyone who has used OpenOffice with my calculators' spreadsheets haven't had any success. Another alternative you could try is downloading the Microsoft Excel Viewer. I do not know if it supports macros, however.

Good point Andy. I should note emath, everyone else who uses Open Office the spreadsheet components of my programs have never worked. Sorry to disappoint.

Do you have macros enabled?

I think Yankee means permission coming from Sal, the creator of the 1927 mod.

He actually did, it just seems no one was willing/able to help him (at least with uniforms): http://www.mvpmods.c...99&#entry578299

Well, I like the name Xerxes, so for a middle name how about: Devontae. (Div-on-tay).
