I’ll go with the game that taught me baseball: Hardball?
I know it is crazy with so little to go on but something about that reveal is pinging my Spidey senses hard. This one is going to be fun!

I didn’t know I knew his work so well. Christ, I think he did everything I grew up with. What a blast from the past. Thanks for sharing, the perfect thread for it. RIP Bob.

Ok, here we go:
