  1. I just need to thank thank Jim and Dennis again for this, That is all.
  2. thanks much my friend, Hes to ugly to be using in game without any beard at all, so this is much better then nothing!
  3. 3 MONTHS THIS HAS BEEN OUT FOR THREE MONTHS AND NO ONE TOLD ME!!!! you all fail, repeat this grade next year. Jim, Thank you so much for this, when you told me you were working on this a couple years ago but to keep it under my hat, I was jittery with excitement. Right now, well, I'm emotionally erect. Dennis, Im certain with your hand in, this mod will be beyond definition. So happy to see your name on it. and as Y4K says, to all the modders here, thank you for keeping it alive.
  4. oh how i could wax on about Ernie. Growing up in the Detroit Suburbs, i listened to the Tigers on the radio every game. Many a night with Harwell turned down low, whispering me the game till i fell asleep. Morgan and Miller, i do not like Morgan, but do like Miller. Bob Uecker is also a great radio voice, loved to listen to him do Brewers games on the internet before MLB cracked its broadcasts down tight. but i do have MLB radio now, so i should try and catch him again, if hes still doing them.
  5. yea love vrs two also, can still make out Trams face without the extra "mods" and white lines....verrry nice
  6. ive noticed people saying this about other mods, from time to time as well, and no one seems to have an answer yet. Id say its all very odd considering the mods have their own peculiar installer to get layed over the MVP05 files. you may need to go through everything MVP,EA, your Downloads and anywhere else the 13 mod might have been and make sure you delete everything you find. if you used separate folders during install, delete them. everything. (just witch hunting there) also, when you reinstall MVP05 from disc, you should get the option to install it somewhere other then its created EA folder. Id try doing just that, create a new place to install MVP05 off your discs and hopefully, that will do it.........
  7. i need to look up that program you mentioned Y4L lol
  8. too funny Dafly, how about something for the TC 88 mod and the best of 80s and 90s mod. would be cool if there was a DL with Icons to choose from for all the TC mods in one zip file......

  14. JIM CREIGHTON Jim was probably Baseballs first real star player and made his pitching debut with the Brooklyn Niagras at age 19, in 1859. He then changed clubs in 1860 to the "Excelsior Club" for "under the table inducements", making him most likely the first paid player in history, and not Al Reach. At the time Jim played, the ball had to be pitched stiff armed, and under hand. Its noted that he was one of the first to bend that rule by adding a almost undetectable snap to his wrist in the motion, thus speeding his pitches dramatically compared to how it was done by others. He would also throw without the snap mixing his speeds exactly how good MLB pitchers do today. During this era of baseball, it was the pitchers job to help the hitter strike the ball, not hinder him,thus letting fielding decide the fate of the game, many many players and clubs initially detested Creightons style of hurling, and on November 8th of 1860, Creighton recorded baseballs first shutout. It could also be said that Creighton was a phenom at the plate as well, and as far as recorded history can tell, he was retired at the bat only 4 times in the 1862 season. (yes while the American Civil War raged) On October 18th 1862, at the age of 21,Creighton hit a home run, and on deck hitter John Chapman reports hearing an unusual snap during Creighton's swing. Jim assures Chapman it was his belt snapping, however, Creighton would die 4 days later of internal bleeding, having ruptured his spleen or bladder. Creightons approach to the game, his pitching style would forever change the way the game was played, turning it from a struggle between hitters/runners against fielders into the intense duels between batters and pitchers we know today. RIP Jim Creighton, more should know your name.
  15. OTB yeah if you have Negro League numbers now integrated into Lahman database, that would be awesome and a huge step in getting me interested in games like Puresim and OOTP again! please let me know!
