Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

No retro hair from the 70's?....lol...nice work on it.

I went with bald headed......but you know what? Some retro hair is a good idea. I was using this picture though of his adult self as a model:

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

I've often thought about a retro fictional roster...

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

I'm heading into the fourth year and I think there are too many players rated in the 90's because most guys are getting signed in the off season. And since they never get picked up during the season they retire the next off season. Just a little heads up

Alright. I'll personally look into this and see what I could do for a possible v2.

Absolutely. But this is the major leagues and I figured I would use an adult picture to replicate hiw he aged.

I will fool around with some hair styles though and see if we can get that retro feathered hair style lol!!

Now if they only allowed a Marlboro to hang out of his mouth.......

Sounds good. Unfortunately for me Rex West, one of the few 90 overall guys that did sign a free agent deal. Went to the Cardinals and has terrorized the NL central for a couple of years now.

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

We are feverishly working on all those fictional movie players!

All credit to PJSnell I exported out from his brilliant 1989 set:

Jake Taylor
Ed Harris
Pedro Cerrano
Ricky Vaughn (edited him to a CP)
Willie Mayes Hayes


His renditions are amazing.

Now uploaded to the player vault with full credit to PJ (psn = Todem)

Figure another 10-14 days before I upload an updated special expanded Fictional Baseball Movie version!

Stay tuned!

Re: Bacon's Fictional Roster

BTW I found a good Gus Sinski (Catcher for Billy Chappel For Love Of The Game).

I placed him with Billy Chapel on the Tigers (platoon type catcher).

Also scouring baseball movies for some any other interesting guys I can create to add to this roster. Here are some more I plan to create:

Jimmy Dugan 1B - A League Of Their Own (Former Cubs Slugger based on Jimmi Foxx)

Ken Stroud 2B/Low Rated C Prospect Utility player - Last batter Chapel faced in For Love Of Game

Jack Elliot (Tom Selleck) 1B - Mr Baseball

Bobby Rayburn CF/OF (Wesley Snipes) The Fan

How about the Pitcher from the Movie Sandlot, Kenny Denunez? Supposedly he went on to pitch in the Minors?

I think Rayburn is in there already, IIRC. Maybe you could give Benicio Del Toro's character a shot... you know,

Spoiler

the guy De Niro killed so Bobby could have his lucky number.

For fun, here's De Niro saying "Bob-bay" montage from The Fan. What a flick!
