Teachers are special Jim but I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, Who would have thought things would be like this for students and teachers alike? It is my wish that your daughter becomes a teacher like she wants to be and never has any stories like this to tell you for her entire teaching career.

Of course I'm not angry. I love it. You'll see angry if you win more games than I do in the PS3 league. Then watch out.

Oh man. How does this guy do this? Hahahahaha Hail to the great Dennis James!

Wow...just when you think you are friends with a guy, look at what he does!

I'd be very interested in seeing this. I usually just create my icons from photos using Axialis Icon Workshop. I have a picture of Roger Maris for the '61 mod, Mantle for '56, MLB logo for '69, etc.

I recall when Mvp first came out there was a friendly debate going on in here with people that used KC's Total MLB uniforms and Moser's High Res Road Trip uniforms. Thanks to Mvp Studio I alternated many times.

What this website has never lacked is talented uniform creators and this week two more of these modders take center stage. The first was by someone who created some of the first 2X uniforms seen in here and the other by a guy whose uniforms are still featured today. Moser316 Back at the time when Mvp 2005 first was released we were spoiled in here because we had two guys who were releasing a full MLB uniform set in hi-res 2X style. The first was Kccitystar and the second was, because of the amount of time that has now passed, a lesser known modder to people here now named Moser316. Moser had a series of threads that can still be found today that covered the High-Res Road Trip that he had that detailed the release of each of his team uniforms. Moser only released uniforms for the 2005 season but as everyone well knows a lot of teams have changed uniform styles since then and a lot of these uniforms that he made are considered throwbacks. 2005 Cardinals Uniforms. 2005 Texas Rangers Uniforms. 2005 Tampa Bay Devil Rays Uniforms. 2005 Cincinnati Reds Uniforms. 2005 Pittsburgh Pirates Uniforms. 2005 New York Mets Uniforms. Royal Blues Royal Blues was another guy in here that would post eagerly-awaited uniforms because every so often he would have extensive releases that had multiple uniforms included in one single package, as he liked to call his mods. Two examples of what I mean can be seen below. Royal Blues covered throwback uniforms and minor league teams and some of his work is also featured in the Mvp 12 and 13 mods. Toronto Blue Jays History Pack. (This history pack includes 26 uniforms.) Milwaukee Brewers History Pack. (According to the file description this history pack includes over twenty uniforms.) Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees Uniforms. 1935 Detroit Tigers. 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates Home Uniform. Omaha Royals Pack. Tulsa Drillers Pack.

This file is no longer hosted on this website and has not been in many years.

Hank Aaron American baseball icon Hank Aaron, nicknamed "Hammerin' Hank," is widely regarded as one of the greatest hitters in the history of the sport. For nearly 23 years (1954–76), Aaron played as an outfielder for the Braves and the Milwaukee Brewers, setting several records and winning a number of honors along the way. Born Henry Louis Aaron on February 5, 1934, in a poor black section of Mobile, Alabama, called "Down The Bay," Hank Aaron was the third of eight children born to Estella and Herbert Aaron, who made a living as a tavern owner and a dry dock boilermaker's assistant. Aaron developed a strong affinity for baseball and football at a young age, and tended to focus more heavily on sports than his studies. During his freshman and sophomore years, he attended Central High School, a segregated high school in Mobile, where he excelled at both football and baseball. On the baseball diamond, he played shortstop and third base. In his junior year, Aaron transferred to the Josephine Allen Institute, a neighboring private school that had an organized baseball program. Before the end of his first year at Allen, he had more than proved his abilities on the baseball field. Then, perhaps sensing that he had a bigger future ahead of him, in 1951, the 18-year-old Aaron quit school to play for the Negro Baseball League's Indianapolis Clowns. After leading his club to victory in the league's 1952 World Series, in June 1952, Aaron was recruited by the Milwaukee Braves (formerly of Boston and later of Atlanta) for $10,000. The Braves assigned their new player to one of their farm clubs, The Eau Claire Bears. Again, Aaron did not disappoint, earning the esteemed title of "Northern League Rookie of the Year." Hank Aaron made his Major League debut in 1954, at age 20, when a spring training injury to a Braves outfielder created a roster spot for him. Following a respectable first year (he hit .280), Aaron charged through the 1955 season with a blend of power (27 home runs), run production (106 runs batted in), and average (.328) that would come to define his long career. In 1956, after winning the first of two of his batting titles, Aaron registered an unrivaled 1957 season, taking home the National League MVP and nearly nabbing the Triple Crown by hitting 44 homeruns, knocking in another 132, and batting .322. That same year, Aaron demonstrated his ability to come up big when it counted most. His 11th inning home run in late September propelled the Braves to the World Series, where he led underdog Milwaukee to an upset win over the New York Yankees in seven games. Over the next decade and a half, the always-fit Aaron banged out a steady stream of 30 and 40 homerun seasons. In 1973, at the age of 39, Aaron was still a force, clubbing a remarkable 40 homeruns to finish just one run behind Babe Ruth's all-time career mark of 714. In 1974, after tying the Babe on Opening Day in Cincinnati, Aaron came home with his team. On April 15, he banged out his record 715th homerun at 9:07 p.m. in the fourth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was a triumph and a relief. The more than 50,000 fans on hand cheered him on as he rounded the bases. There were fireworks and a band, and when he crossed home plate, Aaron's parents were there to greet him. Overall, Aaron finished the 1974 season with 20 home runs. He played two more years, moving back to Milwaukee to finish out his career to play in the same city where he'd started. After retiring as a player, Aaron moved into the Atlanta Braves front office as executive vice-president, where he has been a leading spokesman for minority hiring in baseball. He was elected to baseball's Hall of Fame in 1982. His autobiography, I Had a Hammer, was published in 1990.

Thank you redeck for your contribution to this thread. As you said, more people should know James Creighton's name. This guy was one of the very first stars the game ever had. And do you realize that when he got hurt and died days later the Civil War was still going on? Thanks for the history on him and I have updated his name in the players list that lists every player covered in this thread.

Updated to 10-27 ...This year's post season Alex Rodriguez award for bloated contracts and nothing to show for it goes to Detroit's Prince Fielder, the Tigers 23 million dollar a year first baseman who hit .182 against the Red Sox in the ALCS. As happy as the Tigers were one year ago every time Rodriguez came to the plate against them in the 2011 ALCS that is how thrilled the Red Sox were in this past series every time this guy came up swinging his big stick because it got very little results. Fielder's base running was as bad as his hitting and it is a good thing Detroit isn't paying him to do that. ...There's an old baseball saying that says a good manager is worth five to ten wins a year for a team. Earl Weaver was that kind of manager during the glory years of the Orioles and the same could be said about Jim Leyland of the Detroit Tigers, who retired last Monday at the age of sixty-eight. The first time I heard of him was when he managed the Pirates when they lost in the N.L. Championship series three straight years and even back then he was a class act at all times. ...The Red Sox made the news around here locally last week although to be fair it was only indirectly about them. A Boston fan who made his living as a furniture salesman around here quit his job so he could attend the first game of the World Series. He said that his boss would not give him the week off because he didn't give him enough notice. How can anyone work for an employer that requires something like this to be done? This guy is probably so unreasonable and contemptible that he insists that you call in to work when you are sick and not coming in. When you quit your job like this is one thing in itself but when you make sure you let everyone know what you did is just plain dumb. Good luck finding your next job. ...Meanwhile as this guy went to these lengths to see the game I still have not watched an inning of the World Series yet. ...The worst thing that any team can do this off season that has an open managerial spot is to have Dusty Baker fill it. ...Immediately after the Dodgers lost to the Cardinals in the NLCS they fired Trey Hillman, the man Don Mattingly hand-picked as his bench coach. It was easier to fire Hillman and manufacture a reason for doing so then admit that the Cardinals outplayed them and that Clayton Kershaw picked a terrible time to have his worst outing of the year. ...Not for nothing but why is honey so damned expensive? ...Two soccer fans were arrested by police last week for acting like soccer fans after they threw a smoke bomb out on the field of play and hitting the assistant referee in the back. The official was unhurt and the smoke bomb went off after it bounced off him and hit the ground. The two fans, ages 25 and 47 were released shortly after on bail but not before the police congratulated the both of them on their wonderful aim. ...Every time I hear about something like this happening it makes me think of the old Metropolitan Stadium in Minnesota, torn down all these years now. It was December 28th, 1975 and the Vikings were hosting the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Divisional Playoff game. Now I am sure you have heard that on important dates you can remember where you were and what you were doing. For example most people can recall exactly what they were doing when they first heard of 9-11. I'm the same way and then some because I'm like that with all dates. The Vikings lead throughout the entire game and with less than a minute to play Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach, who even though was not Irish himself still had all the luck of the Irish, threw a fifty-yard touchdown pass to Drew Pearson, who probably caught the ball with his eyes closed as the Cowboys won the game 17 - 14. Now here's the part where it turned memorable. Had Pearson not have caught the ball the Cowboys still would have been in great field position because Minnesota's safety, a man named Nate Wright, who was neither Irish or lucky, was called for pass interference. Everybody in Minnesota got angry at once and they started throwing things out on the field. Among the things thrown was an empty whiskey bottle that hit an official named Armen Terzian right in the noggin and later on had to have quite a few stitches. ...A Chinese couple is facing charges for selling three of their new born babies in order for them to purchase iPhones, computers and designer shoes. You know, the really important stuff. They are facing multiple counts of trafficking of women and children. The wife was allowed to post bail while the husband remains in custody, presumably so he can not fill any more orders. ...Bum Phillips died the other week and I was very sad to hear about it. This guy fascinated me as a kid. He was the head coach of the Houston Oilers and he did not look like any head coach that I ever saw. He used to wear a huge cowboy hat on the sidelines and he dressed like he was a character right out of the TV show Dallas. And with that Texas drawl of his I could've listened to him all day. Phillips is also responsible for giving me some of the worst pain I have ever had in a hospital bed. It was right at the end of the first AFC Championship game the Oilers played against the Pittsburgh Steelers. As soon as the final seconds wound down in the fourth quarter the teams from both sides started walking on the field. Being that it was in Pittsburgh and the home team won, many fans ran out on the field to celebrate. One guy came up from behind Phillips and took his hat and ran off with it and Phillips did this double take before running after the guy that made me laugh so hard that it was hurting me. R.I.P. Bum, and I hope you did get that hat back. ...It's common knowledge that somewhere in Las Vegas you can lay down a bet on anything provided that you can find someone willing to take it. That being said I would love to know the odds on how long they think the Kanye West and Kim Kardashian marriage will last. To put it as tactfully as I can, he already got what he came for. ...During this coming holiday season which by the way is not that far away, CBS is going to air a one hour Christmas special from I Love Lucy that are going to be digitally colorized. It will be airing on December 20th and even though I was never a huge fan of that show I'll probably tune in just because it will be something different to see during the holidays instead of watching The Little Drummer Boy again. To me, the Lucy show was so predictable that it wasn't even funny and if you've ever caught any of these reruns you'll know what I mean. Ricky has a new act for his club...Lucy wants to be a part of the show...Ricky says no...Lucy gets in some kind of disguise to go onstage but Ricky catches her and her plot is foiled again...Lucy cries. Rinse and repeat next week. ...Despite of what has been coming out of the mouths of education officials who are saying that most school campuses are still among the safest places for students, it makes me wonder if this is being said because they really believe it or that they just want to believe it. The more that I hear about what goes on in schools across the country the more I believe these people have no idea what they are talking about. What the hell is with all the violence? How the hell does a twelve-year-old boy get a gun and feel he has to use it on a teacher? I had a gun when I was twelve too. It was a squirt gun. And that fourteen-year-old who murdered that teacher? I'll bet my entire pension that he was thinking with his head here and not the one that he wears his hat on and things got out of control and ended up killing her. We are less than two months away from the one year anniversary of the Newtown, Connecticut incident and it seems that not even that senseless tragedy has made any impression on these kids. ...My niece was born in March of 1995 and during the last few months of my sister's pregnancy I tried to convince her that she should have the child home-schooled. It got shot down by everyone that I told it to. The only one that actually listened and considered it was my brother-in-law. To make a long story short, she went to school like any other kid and graduated this past June and fortunately she did not have any circumstances that made her parents worry about her more than they should have. Right after the Newtown matter I called her up to talk to her about it and I reminded her of what I said to her about my niece all those years ago and this time I was surprised to hear her say that if she was starting school now she would have seriously considered having her home-schooled. It made me wonder how many parents out there have thought the same thing and how close they come to doing it every time something like this becomes page one news again? ...If someone would ask me the first three things that come to mind when I hear the word Texas I would say that I am glad I don't live there, that I hate every one of their sports teams and that the people there are absolutely crazy about their high school football. And after I heard about what went on last week after one game I can now add a fourth: that some of those same people are, to put it nicely, out to lunch. On the Monday after the Aledo High School football team beat Western Hills by the score of 91 - 0 the Aledo coach received an e-mail notifying him that a Western Hills parent, who must have took this loss much harder than the kids did, was accusing him and his coaching staff of bullying because of the lopsided score. This anonymous parent was quick to point out that the report he/she filed was not directed at the team because they showed good sportsmanship in their eyes but rather at the coaching staff for not telling them to ease up and not play hard once they knew they had the game won. If anyone who has ever played football would know that if you go out there to play just to play out the clock and tone down your play just a little bit that is when you find yourself getting hurt. Since this was a bullying complaint the school was forced to investigate; not because they wanted to but because it was mandated by the state. If I was associated with the Western Hills school as a coach, player, parent or fan I would try to get the memory of this game behind me as quickly as possible and hope that the next game goes better. Doing this just put more unwanted attention on the team. It's always the parents that take these games too far. Little League parents are just as bad with mothers and fathers doing their best Billy Martin impressions when something goes against their boy. The good part about this is that the Aledo coach was found not guilty of bullying and hopefully next year when his team has to play Western Hills again on the schedule he can try to keep his team from scoring more than fifty.

If he does you have to download them from someplace else because we do not have an area for High Heat 2003 here.

Please post any problems for MVP 13 in the correct support thread that is already provided in here.

This is a blast from the past with all these resurrected threads you have been bringing up bdolan, but to answer your question I also play on Pro.

I think you need to search this thread a little more closely. Take a peek on page one.

I sure as hell hope so.

Hahahahahhaa. Oh man I never even imagined this. Post of the day. There have been others but it is a rarity. The first one we had here was someone named Olyrunner. She was a sweet and beautiful woman. Huge Mariners fan and she tolerated my Yankee ways. She even made a stadium mod which you can see right here which I still use often.

Because of the reasons that I already stated in this thread this is a mod that I am very certain will not be made. And a women's softball mod sounds good but not based on the Mvp model. Here's your first problem. There are no female models you can use to base your players on. I don't think you'd want to have your starting first baseman looking like David Ortiz.

I am very interested in reading about your World Series coverage. Great job!

I gave you a plus one for this post of yours because you were able to solve the problem and secondly I had no idea what you were talking about.

An example of what I was talking about when I wanted to update the Modders and Forum Fanatics teams. This is from the Mvp 07 mod.

That link is to a website that has been gone for many years now. That's why I didn't know what you meant. And please, most people here refer to me as Y4L, or you can just call me Yankee4Life or if you don't want to use those two choices you can just say "hey you."

I never looked at it that way but I see what you mean. I still play this mod a lot.
