That was my first Mattel Electronics led game. The other emulated Mattel Electronics led games seem to sound decent. I am not sure about Football since I haven’t seen any video clips yet of the emulated version running in MAME.

I didn’t know ownership had changed. The only ones I know of with stingy budgets currently are Pirates, Reds, and A’s.

I forgot that the former GM of your team was Walt J. Walt knew how to put together well run teams in the past. He had success with Cards and Reds.

> I wish the Cardinals had Paul Skenes but I hope the Pirates can keep him for years to come.

The way how the owner Bob Nutting runs the Pirates, Skenes will be around for 5 years tops before being sold to Skenes hometown team … the Dodgers. Dodgers and Yankees and maybe Red Sox and Cubs will be only teams that can afford Skenes.

I was surprised with Cards choosing to move on from Matheny as manager a few years ago. I wish Pirates would do same with the hitting coach and field manger (Shelton), but those two and Pirates GM Ben Cherington come together as a bundled package. Can’t replace any without having to replace them all. I have no problem if all get replaced. I can see why Toronto decided to part with Cherington five years earlier.
