“There go the family heirlooms.”
I can hear it as clear as day – the voice of either Buck Martinez or Jim Hughson piping up with a disappointed tone, triggered by a particularly well-placed home run I hit with Tony Batista in Triple Play Baseball 2001 in one of the game’s multiple unique Home Run Derby environments.
This one was a family’s living room.
It wasn’t the last time I cared about a Home Run Derby, but it was the event’s peak in my memory. That terribly reviewed video game was in part to thank for my fervor.
