My brother and I still talk about the Baseball Buddha (Micro League's name for the computer manager) who always seemed to come out a tad bit late to take out the starting pitcher. See the Rockies against the Phillies earlier in the week when Clint Hurdle went Baseball Buddha and failed to bring in a lefty at the right time. I have a Little League baseball card of me signed by Richie Ashburn. Back when autographs weren't that big, Ashburn was at a local mall and stayed there for the full time and signed and signed and signed. By the end of the day, no one was left but Ashburn was still there signing... I think we got him to sign like 4 or 5 things. My brother once got Lonnie Smith to sign a USA Today that had him on the cover getting tossed from a game. 'Skates' got a big kick out of it. And yes, I do remember the intructions card... I bet I still have one.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1373','Brian Joseph'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1373','Brian Joseph','Ha!

My dad tried to get Bob Feller to autograph that for me, but he wouldn't autograph anything except baseballs or crap he was selling. I believe the "0" key was "Go to the bullpen" and my dad tried to get him to sign, "To Mike, stay away from 0." That would have been cool to have.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1363','Mike Lynch'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1363','Mike Lynch','Do you remember the instructions card that came with the game, the one that showed which plays were assigned to the keys on the keyboard?

Gates Brown was the guy I snuck into the lineup every time I used the ‘68 Tigers on Micro League. He was killer!”

I LOVED Micro League baseball!! My very first fantasy draft was for a Micro League baseball league in 1988. We used 1987 stats and I loaded up my team with sluggers: McGwire, Sam Horn, Larry Sheets, Matt Nokes, Brook Jacoby, Mike Greenwell, Paul Molitor, and Julio Franco made up the core of my team. Hell, I even remember having Geno Petralli as my #2 catcher. My pitching staff was anchored by Jimmy Key and Charles Hudson and my closer was Tom Henke.

I remember Horn hit 48 homers, but struck out over 200 times. Key won over 30 games, but lost the Cy Young Award to Jack McDowell, who also won over 30. Damn, that league was fun!

Brown just a wee bit. Tom Brennan? Not at all! Mike Smithson I remember a lot. It seemed as if I was always going to Jays games when they were playing Minnesota and Smithson was always pitching. Jimmy Key, I had no idea in '84 that he would emerge as such a great pitcher. He was just a serviceable LOOGY that first year. That's an awesome recap of just one week in baseball Mike. Maybe you should write a book or something. ;) P.S. Frank Thomas was well worth getting rid of but maybe the guy who signed him to that ridiculous contract needs to go too.....<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1348','Ron'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1348','Ron','I remember Darrell (Darryl?)
