Interestingly, I had actually linked to the above’s creator’s web site a couple weeks ago. The post I linked to had a couple RBI Baseball fanboy links, which must have inspired him. Him being Conor Lastowka. Read that link to find out that it didn’t take quite as long as I assumed it did to create this viral video. He also co-founded National High Five Day.

I hate to imagine how long it took to recreate that. I suspect, with an emulator, you could incrementally save after each pitch and the segments would mesh pretty well with a video-editing package. But you’d still have to constantly reload the saved state until that foul ball is hit in the correct spot, etc.

I remember the game…that was like the second year that I was REALLY into baseball. I don’t know why the RBI Baseball reentactment is so unspeakably cool, but it is.
