I really miss the cool recorder music.

Never get in to an argument with a stupid person. They just bring you down to their level, then beat you with experience

It will be back.

It’s just that dragons require more impressive, ear-blasting instruments. ‘Cause they’re dragons.

Was that a Nintendo RBI Classic Graphic?

It was something I actually drew myself,

but it was modeled after RBI Baseball.

I'm glad you enjoy it!

They’re pretty fun to make, even if they are so difficult to make.

Thanks SF1!

You’re a tough critic, so your praise means much more.

I guess that pitchers were just lucky in all of the 70s and 80s

when league-average BABIP was in the .280s.

No, it was a different run environment,

which in itself would be a video.

Well done, but Joe Fan wouldn't be expected to have a BABIP of .300

You kind of covered that later with the teaser for another video. The .290-.300 BABIP is what pitcher is expected to do against the spectrum of MLB hitting. Hitters have their own means. Similar to HR/FB. I know you are well aware Woody, its just become a hot topic of late. You could see me and hitter BABIP for together like oil and water.
