One of my google alerts caught this one and I found it just interesting.
There’s a huge arcade in Downtown Disney. It costs a small fortune and it’s not worth it, but they did have part of a floor dedicated to old sports games. And out of the twenty or so on display, the best two, by far, were World Series Baseball and Virtua Tennis.
This was a machine so old that the Mets were batting Mike Piazza, Robin Ventura, and Todd Zeile (1997, I believe). Oh, and “M. Alexander”, which made me curious enough that I looked him up. That would be Manny Alexander, light-hitting utility infielder with a lifetime batting average of .231 and 15 HR in 1271 career at-bats. Incredibly, he was still playing in Italy in 2009 after playing for six different major league clubs.
I am not sure what year that lineup is. Zeile did not come to the Mets until 2000. Manny Alexander was already gone…….
