I have long held a love for the game of baseball. Even longer though, I have had a love of video games. I started old school, my first handheld being the big, grey brick, Nintendo Game Boy. The first game I ever beat on that Game Boy? Kirby’s Dream Land. Imagine my joy then when the Mariners drafted a pitcher by the name of George Kirby. Now imagine that joy going turbo mode when it became clear over time just how great George Kirby would be. There were many heroes in tonight’s game, but one star among them was definitely Kirby who threw six dominant, shutout innings, leading the charge as the Mariners went on to shut out Oakland on their home field with a brutal score of nine to zero.
