I guess that’s part of what is so impressive about Aaron’s (and to me, the record still belongs to <b>Aaron,</b> not Bonds) record—he managed to hit lots of home runs <i>and</i> stay healthy for so long.<br /><br />Never did get to play the video games though…I never had a Sega or SNES growing up.Luke Dockeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535787107819333194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30457405.post-49369546476058229592010-08-09T13:01:46.049-05:002010-08-09T13:01:46.049-05:00Luke,

They were awesome... Griffey needs to put a patent on that swing.

I’ll have to dig them out.<br /><br />It was a bit interesting in that the league was set roughly 12 years in the future, so I myself was grown up and able to play. The other players were also made up of people I knew as a child (complete with retired players and Hall of Famers of older people I knew).<br /><br />By the way, I got your text…wish I was with you at the Orioles/Red Sox game to talk baseball!Luke Dockeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535787107819333194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30457405.post-5445505616666427462010-06-04T07:56:40.142-05:002010-06-04T07:56:40.142-05:00Pangs of nostalgia.
