1. Is that 10 hits or 16 hits? 16 might be what the actual MLB record is for hits in a 9-inning shutout.

2. It's sixteen. Plus five errors by the White Sox. 21 baserunners, 0 runs scored: that's A's baseball 2005.
(Full disclosure: this is a joke. I deliberately didn't swing the bat with RISP, just like the real A's.)

5. It's a video game by Atari. Has major league players as kids, playing together with "regular" kids on various kinds of sandlots. It's a cute game, fun for young kids like mine, but the hard-core gamer wouldn't think much of it, I suspect.

6. There are really two kinds of baseball gamers. The baseball mogul types and the RBI baseball types.
I am more of the RBI type. I want to actually hit the ball, as opposed to just managing.
Although, I do get a kick out of the owner mode stuff in the new MVP baseball.
So, I'd probably like Backyard baseball. I was just playing Baseball Stars the other day.
