Hey man, I'm right there with you. I'm 37, and my first baseball video games were RBI and Bases Loaded for the NES. I've played a lot of video game baseball since then, getting excited about each new generation of consoles and the increased level of realism they would bring. But even as graphics and AI got better, and features were added to make the games play more like the real thing, they never quite got there.

I took a long hiatus from baseball games (I think All-Star Baseball for the PS2 was the last one I bought), and almost passed on MLB 09, but the glowing reviews, including the one on this site, convinced me to pick it up, and I couldn't be happier about it. It is without a doubt, the best sports video game I have ever played.
