Videogame Remake of 1986's World Series Game 6 174
Carl Bialik from WSJ writes "Even non-baseball fans must concede that the re-creation of the bottom half of the 10th inning of Game Six of the 1986 World Series, using the original broadcast audio and a replay with Nintendo's RBI Baseball, took enormous dedication. 'Something like the Keith Hernandez at-bat, where he flies out to center, took like 200 attempts,' Creator Conor Lastowka told WSJ.com. Though it wasn't quite as hard as it looks: 'Thanks to the emulator software, each time Mr. Hernandez's at-bat strayed from history's script, Mr. Lastowka was able to replay from the previous at-bat. Using a computer rather than an actual game console like a PlayStation allowed Mr. Lastowka to save his progress along the way. He built his precise Game-Six replica bit by bit -- not in one flawless, improbable take.' Before he made the viral video, Lastowka was jobless; three days after its release, he had a job with a classic-films company."

"He walked him, Millar's going to first base, and in comes Dave Roberts to run for Millar as Bill Mueller steps in the batter's box. The Yankees are just three outs away from a trip to the World Series and a sweep of the Red Sox. Roberts definitely has Rivera's attention, he's drawing a lot of looks from the mound. There's a throw over, runner back. Another throw over, runner back. Here's the pitch.
Roberts is taking off...."
