I love consuming everything baseball. Whether it’s documentaries, movies, TV shows, or video games; as long as it’s baseball, I’m in. Each character created for these platforms have their own unique personalities. So here we have it, a case for a number of fictional baseball players, to eventually decide who the best truly is. There are many baseball video games that are debated for the title of the best of all time. Some to consider are; Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball, the original Backyard Baseball, MLB The Show franchise, MLB Slugfest, Triple Play 2001 (shout out to the HR derby mode where you can play as a shrunken legend in a living room), and RBI Baseball. However, the one title that rises to the top of everyone's list is MVP Baseball 2005. MVP 2005 introduced an original game model that has not only lasted the test of time, but was also adopted and utilized by the likes to San Diego Studios' The Show games to this day. The king of MVP 2005 (besides the Manny Ramirez cover, Red Sox World Series winning theme, and game soundtrack) was Jon Dowd.

In honor of Disney's upcoming launch of their new Disney+ streaming service, we're going to keep things right here, with the Disney classic, Angels in the Outfield (1994). Ben Williams is the California Angels Center Fielder in the 1994 classic, Angels in the Outfield. He is played by none other than Matthew McConaughey. Williams is not known for his bat, but rather his quality defense.

Ray Mitchell is the California Angels slugger played by Stoney Jackson, in the movie Angels in the Outfield (1994). I won’t spend this time going into how great this movie is…but it is. Mitchell sports a phenomenal, wet, slicked back, Jheri curl hair style, that would have made N.W.A. proud, when this look rocked the late 1980's. |
