Names like Paste, Star, Oko, and Fendy resonate even today.
I have audio tapes from the 80's of my friends and I do commentary whilst whipping up on each other in classic battles for the ages.
But among all the talented folks on those rosters, no two created a more heated rivalry than Star and Oko.
I was a Philadelphia man. My friend Phil, he was a New York guy. And when we faced each other with those teams, it boiled down to which of the two power hitters could out-bomb the other.
So, a toast to Bases Loaded. The greatest baseball video game ever made.
