The 1986 Game 6 RBI Baseball Recreation

·1 min

Speaking of painful, yeah, it’s been around, but I thought I might as well put it up here: Game 6 of 1986, recreated in RBI baseball.

The Yahoo! Sports article about the process of creating it was quite funny as well.

And yeah, I was watching Pedro strike out 11 Padres, so I caught Keith Hernandez make those misogynistic comments about having women in the dugout (specifically, about Padres massage therapist Kelly Calabrese). He must have been receiving complaints during the broadcast after he said it, and near the end he ended up saying something pathetic like “For those of you who didn’t like my comments about women belonging in the kitchen, get a sense of humour. But I stand by my statement about women not belonging in the dugout” (paraphrasing from memory). It was almost sad.

But hey, would you expect anything more of any member of the 86 Mets? As Jeff Pearlman’s The Bad Guys Won notes, Frank Cashen’s philosophy was “Women + Baseball = Trouble”.
