Boston Holds Off Minnesota’s Comeback
Tim’s Boston team held on to edge out Minnesota on Thursday after blowing a three-run lead in the later innings. Minnesota was downtrodden the whole game after falling behind 2-0 in the first inning after Duncan’s two-run home run. After falling further behind 3-0, Minnesota battled back with three home runs of their own and came within one swing of tying the game.
“We knew they’d battle back,” said Tim. “We were just hoping to hold on, and fortunately we had enough pichers left in the bullpen to finish them off.” Boston was fortunate enough to score two insurance runs in the top of the ninth, both of which were needed to fend off Minnesota and their two ninth inning runs.
Tim: Wins by 1 runs ($0.25 + $0.05), 5 K’s ($0.25), 1 HRs ($0.05) = $0.60
Davey: 5 K’s ($0.25), 3 HRs ($0.15) = $0.40
Total: Davey owes Tim $0.20
Lifetime: Davey owes Tim $1.00
Series Lifetime: Tim 6, Davey 5
K’s Lifetime: Tim: 53, Davey 63
HR Lifetime: Tim 18, Davey 23

i have a spreadsheet of the batters for this game if you’re interested. some pitcher data too, but that is incomplete. (sorry, no girls league data at all).
let me know, i can attach it to an email back. email me.
Hey Right on …nice to see people plying the old school games!
Could you plz start an online multiply season?
I and another person would be willing to help out if needed and also to be a part of the season!
Thx
Lavallee
Lavallee,
Thanks for the comment, I will try to do this at some point, but I won’t have time for at least a couple months. I’ll definitely keep you posted though!
Love the blog, keep it up.
Hey Guys Still Wishing a public season could be created!
Let me know how you feel about it?
A public online season would be cool. I’d be down for that.
So… is this site basically dead? Whatever happened to your “Negro Mode”, Tim?
It’s true, I haven’t done anything to the site for a long while. If I had an infinite amount of time, my first goal would be to truly finish Night Mode (some of the cut scenes aren’t switched over). I’ve done some testing with the Negro League mode and it will take A LOT of work to do it right. I’d like to say that someday I’ll get it done, but I’d have to get really motivated. So yes, for now the site is dead, but who knows what will happen eventually!
Where’d you get the music from? I’m a huuuuuge fan of Bad News and have been playing since I was young and coming across this site was purely by luck when I was searching for the OST! Glad to see other people have the same appreciation for it.
Nice to see another fan! I extracted the music directly from the NES rom, so it would be a perfect recording.
Like Scott, I found this place accidentally while looking for the songs from the game to download. This is my all-time fave baseball game & I’m curious on how you extracted the songs from the rom… I have the rom on my laptop as well and would love to be able to enjoy the songs without booting up the rom everytime. Please share? Also, night mode was cool (didn’t know of it) and I think it would be cool if you gave the girl teams some shine, too! (Unless you did already!)
Thanks Jay! It’s been so long, I forget exactly what program I used, but basically there’s a program that extracts an NSF file from the rom (NSF stands for Nintendo Sound File), and there are players and converters that will play or convert to mp3 the tracks within the nsf file. On Zophar’s Domain (zophar.net) there’s a program called NES2NSF that may extract the file and there are numerous players of NSF files. Hope this helps!
I can’t really summarize how much this game has meant to us over the years. I am the “owner/coach” of team LA. I have personally owned this game since it’s release in 1990 and to this day a select group of friends and I have some of the most intense seasons/tournaments you will ever see. Just last night (7/4/12) at a BBQ we began debating who the best players in the game were (our choice, Walker from TOR). But I digress. The reason I am writing…WE NEED THIS GAME TO BE RE-RELEASED AND UPDATED. Keep the graphics and gameplay identical. But add the season modes, more stadiums, more teams, stat keeping (so we can stop doing it manually), etc.
We have seen the re-releases of countless games on updated platforms. I have tried to write Nintendo on this myself, but I got nowhere fast. You guys obviously have some know-how when it comes to making a website. I think we need a group of people to get this some serious consideration.
Do you happen to have the mappings of the player data from the ROM. Someone asked me if I can build an editor for this game since I did one for RBI3. I figured out most of the batter stats just by looking at it, but I can’t see where the 1st & 3rd base fielding ability comes from and there are a few fields that I don’t know what they do. Also, I haven’t looked at pitcher data yet. If you have this info, it would be great to know and save me a lot of time.
Peter,
I’m really not an expert in NES hacking but I love BNB so I’ve played with the ROM quite a bit. As far as changing player data, I’ve tried many times, but can’t seem to find anything too useful. I found the player names using Thingy, but I couldn’t find any stats associated with the players (sounds like you’re way ahead of me). I’m also not sure if changing the stats would just change the number on the screen or affect the actual ability on the field.
I’d be really excited to see an editor as well. I’ve been working on my ‘night mode’ for a long time, but had plenty of other thoughts as to how BNB could be changed. If there’s anything I can do to help (even if it’s tedious mapping), I’d love to pitch in. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help, and keep me posted on your progress!
I would love to play in a tournament for this game. Pretty much the only ROM I play.
Any updates?
I’m not sure I have the time to set up an online tournament just yet, but I’m definitely interested in doing so at some point. I’ll keep you posted.
This game needs to be online. I’ve been playing it for over 20 years and still love it and can’t get enough!
