DP Hall of Fame Class of 2014 - MVP Baseball 2005


The third inductee to the Dome Pondering Page of Fame, MVP Baseball, has quite the peculiar significance and prestige to this blog, and well, to yours truly. To be quite frank, I've probably wasted an obscene amount of time playing this game in my lifetime.

We all have that one hobby, that one activity, or even that one guilty pleasure we are afraid to think of the total amount of time we've spent participating or engaged in for a lifetime. For me, this video game is it. Go ahead, roll your eyes, but any video game fan, especially those of us baseball fans, will tell you that MVP Baseball 2005 was more than just another game - it was the game.

And to be honest, there are very few things in life I've ever been completely confident in. One of the few was the overwhelming confidence that I could beat anyone - ANYBODY - in this game. Seriously, anyone. And I proved it in gaining a reputation in college as the guy. 

Sadly, one day I'll get to Heaven and be able to ask Jesus for statistics on my life (because let's be honest, I'm sure no one will do sabermetrics and advance stats better than the son of the creator of the universe) and finally get to see the total number of hours I logged with my eye balls and thumbs working in unison playing this game. 

Today, we close the chapter on MVP Baseball 2005 and place it where it truly belongs - The Dome Pondering Page of Fame.

Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...
