What does one do with their offseason? They participate in an office RBI Baseball tournament. 30 people, head-to-head matchups limited to the playoff teams from 1986 and 1987 as well as the AL and NL All-Star squads. My first matchup is tomorrow over lunch against Bob in sales. I played a practice game with Nino yesterday. I didn't fair well, but I feel confident I will survive a few rounds with my mad skillz. I prefer to play with the NL All-Star squad but I will fall back on the Angels or Tigers if necessary. The best part is that we have the 1984 video game system hooked up to a high-def 60" TV .best things about RBI:
-The guys are all fat.
-the guys are all white.
-They can't spell out anyone's name longer than 6 letters which leaves a mystery as to who Pedriq is?
-The music is more addicting than the Macarena.
-Dave Henke throws 98 MPH even though he never threw over 90 MPH in his life.
-Jose Canseco hits the ball out of the stadium every time.
-They work with a 4 color pallette which means that teams change uniform colors only for the purpose of your game...which makes me feel special.
