DYK: What a gem "Bye Bye" Balboni was. The guy could hit the ball a mile, always swung for the fences, and, most often, struck out. To this day he's got the record for single season home runs in a Royals uniform (36) under his belt. When I'm playing RBI Baseball on the original Nintendo I like to keep "Bones" on the bench for his pinch hit power. Ironically, his animated player mirrors his playing days to perfection - lots of long balls, lots of strike outs. If you ever wanted to "learn from a pro," I encourage you to consider mastering your craft under the direction of Balboni.
