    Re: How Young Are You?

    I am a 41 year old single father of a wonderfuly talented 14 year old girl who loves baseball as much as her dad. She can also hold her own on default vet settings and sliders in Show 09.
    In Loving memory of my "Cricket" 1/2/96 - 11/19/2012

    My heart and soul hurt for your lost presence in my life.

        37 and still consumed by video sports. I am also married but my wife is very cool about my obsession. She actually enjoys racing games herself but all I play is basketball, baseball and football.

            I see so many guys my age bored to death, wish they'd never retired because they have nothing to do. Running my web site, writing my book, making rosters (retired, ), and baseball, in particular this great game, have made me wonder how I ever had time for real work.

            Keep gaming guys. My best friend is 67 and he's still at it. Don't ever fall into the trap that you are just "too old" to have fun. Doesn't make any sense. Retirement is the age to do just that.
            Love threads like this. Gives me comfort that I am not the only "somewhat-old" guy playing video games. I am Dave Parker (for 2 more weeks yet). Some of you young guys that think you are in the golden age of gaming are sadly mistaken When you can say you've played Odyssey, Atari 2600, Intellevision, Colecovision, Commodore 64 (oh I went there), NES, Genesis, etc. etc. etc., when they were in their prime, you can hang with us old guys! THOSE were the days! Great thread.

            Oh, and Jim, you are a STUD!

                      what? we had the orginal Hardball for C64 and Earl Weaver baseball... those were awesome (even with the orig Hardball having predetermined outcomes for every player, lol)

                        Anyone remember Intellivision? I remember THIS:

                        Yes I remeber it. Was that one the one that was always a homerun if you hit over 2nd base or what that Atari baseball

                        Also, since some of you mentioned your wives being cool with it. I just got the game today and had little bit of time to check it out before the kids took over the TV to watch smackdown. Anyway, played an exhibiton game where I only got in 3 or 4 innings

                              17 years old.

                              Wow a lot of you guys are really older than what I thought...which is a good thing considering why this whole forum is very mature and very well groomed.

                                It's sad.. I really wish I could just pause things here.
