They are not clapping sideways. They are doing the shark bite motion. If you have little ones who watch the Baby Shark video, you would know why they are doing it. My older grandson has watched the video countless times, and even at 20 months old he knew when to clap that way. In case you were unaware, a few years ago, Nationals’ outfielder Geraldo Parra used the song as his walkup music because he had young kids who loved it, and it became the unofficial anthem of the Nationals.

Yup. Another day, another come from behind win, another Sanchez extra basement hit and another triple play. Ho hum. These Yankees are getting so predictable . . .

I was thinking the same thing. Why even follow them if all they are going to provide is misery? You remind me a lot of pre-2004 Red Sox fans, also known as “The fellowship of the miserable”. They were resigned to the fact that no matter how close they got, the Sox would never win the World Series. I’ve known plenty of these fans and some even looked at their misery as a badge of honor.

You’re not a fair weather fan. To be a fair weather fan, you’d have to say something positive about the team now and then. In the two years you’ve been posting, I have yet to see a positive comment. You say it’s because you are “superstitious”. Once again, you wrote off the Yankees after a few innings, only to have them come back again to win.

I never said it worked out well. Not all trades (or free agent signings) do, but unless you have a crystal ball and can see the future, you have no way of being 100% certain of how a deal will turn out. Plus, the Yankees aren’t the only team that makes mistakes. Name me a team that hasn’t made bad trades or signings. The Yankees’ mistakes are just more visible because of who they are.

It’s always easy to make judgements about past decisions. At the time, Gray was one of the top AL pitchers available at the trading deadline. Kaprelian was recovering from Tommy John surgery. Gray was hardly a bum at that time having made the All Star game and finishing 3rd in Cy Young voting in 2015. Kaprelian, meanwhile, had never progressed beyond high-A (Tampa Yankees) and was still rehabbing. Can you honestly say that if you were in Cashman’s position you wouldn’t trade a rehabbing single-A pitcher and two other minor leaguers for an All Star pitcher, with a proven history, entering his prime years?
-
Why do you do that all the time? The Yankees fall behind and the game is automatically over. Last I checked, they were up 7-4. It appears to me that they are winning . . .

If Ford was that good, he would still be on the major league roster. The Yankees were hoping he could play first base until Voit returned, but he was doing so poorly that Andujar was playing first base at times. He was DFA’d to make room for Zach Britton when he came off the IL. Ford is not going to suddenly turn into a .300 hitter for the Rays, nor do I expect him to be their everyday first baseman. In fact, he’s not going to Tampa. He’s going to their Triple-A team in Durham.

8 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs for Cole. Maybe not the same high number of strikeouts he had earlier in the season, but I will take an outing like that any day. And give the Yankees credit for coming from behind for the second night in a row.

Very impressive work. The description itself is worthy of 5 stars! I'm sure that many members will appreciate the effort you put into this. -
Not the greatest first post after you join the website. At least that guy made an effort to help others. You realize you are responding to an 8 year old message right?? If you look at some of the released uniforms over the last 9 years, I am guessing that they include installation instructions.

Thanks for the great review. Like you, Dennis and I learn a lot about baseball history when we work on these mods.

Total Classics 1963 By Jim825 & dennisjames71 In the American League, the Yankees were in the 4th of 5 straight pennant winning years, and, led by MVP Elston Howard, cruised to the American League title by 10.5 games over the 2nd place White Sox. In the National League, most experts figured the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers would be locked in another battle for the pennant, much like 1962 when the Giants came from behind and beat the Dodgers in a playoff. The Dodgers started slowly, perhaps feeling the hangover effect from blowing the pennant the year before. They were 2 games under .500 in early May, and trailed the surprising St. Louis Cardinals by 4.5 games. Then their pitching asserted itself, and on August 28, the Dodgers led the Giants by 5.5 games and the Cardinals by 6.5 games. The Cardinals proceeded to win 19 of their next 20 games and, while the Dodgers didn't exactly slump, they went "only" 14–7 during that same period. Thus, the Dodgers went into St. Louis on September 16 to play the Cardinals in a 3-game series leading by only 1 game. With the memory of blowing the 1962 pennant fresh in their minds, the Dodgers proceeded to sweep the Cardinals and take a 4-game lead with 7 games to go. The key game was the third one; the Cardinals led 5–1 in the 8th inning and a win would move them back to within 2 games of L.A. But the Dodgers got 3 in the 8th and in the top of the 9th, late season call up Dick Nen, in only his 8th major league at bat, hit a pinch hit homer to force extra innings. The Cardinals got a leadoff triple from Dick Groat in the 10th but could not score. The Dodgers then scored an unearned run in the 13th inning and won, 6–5. The disheartened Cardinals then lost their next 3 games as well while the Dodgers won 3 of their next 4 to clinch the pennant with 6 games left. In the World Series, the Dodgers swept the Yankees in four straight games. The Dodgers' stellar pitching staff, anchored by left-hander Sandy Koufax and right-hander Don Drysdale, was so dominant that the vaunted Yankees, despite the presence of sluggers such as Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris in their lineup, never took a lead against Los Angeles the entire Series. ------------------------------------------- The Total Classics 1963 mod brings you the sights and sounds of the 1963 baseball season.

While not a complete mod yet (and he did say he is working to improve it), it is well done and I applaud him for the effort. -
Because he wanted to share it with others. It may not be perfect, but you are well aware of other mods that were MUCH less polished than this. I applaud him for the effort and thank him for his contribution.

No problem.

Isn’t that what I posted yesterday?

Create a new folder in Windows Explorer. Copy the contents of the folder with the clean install into the new folder you just created. Then create a new shortcut pointing to the mvp2005.exe File in the new folder. Now you can install a mod onto the folder with the copy of the game. Never copy anything onto your original clean install of the game. That way you always have a starting point to make another copy.
-
That’s the problem. There is no “one size fits all” answer. What works for one person doesn’t work for another.
-
People have been trying to get the game to run under Windows 10 for 5 years, based upon when this thread was started. If there was an answer to your question, it would have been in this thread.

Nice job. Those look great.

Thanks for the review. Glad to hear you are enjoying the mod. Also, thanks for last year's TC1919 review.
