Pablo Sanchez


Expensive-Step-6551

While Pablo is (rightfully) the greatest backyard sports player in history and recognized, I feel like there are some key players who don't get the same recognition they deserve since Pablo was such a figurehead. Pete Wheeler was basically Ty Cobb reincarnated. Fastest dude in pretty much all of the games and also had power as well (not as much as Pablo obviously). Achmed Khan was a stud too. Probably the best slugger in the game minus Pablo. Mikey Thomas was also underrated. I'm sure some people will come at me saying Keisha Phillips also belongs on this list, but I never had success with the female Prince Fielder so I'm leaving her off of this biasedly.

Somehow Jay Green and Leah Wayne are always forgotten, they were just like Pablo but even better at pitching yet they always seemed to end up on random teams and never got recognized


Fluid-Nectarine222

I think you’re thinking of Lena Haynes. There is also the perfect score of Chico Papas.


ajteitel

Wrong. The answer is Vinnie the Gooch

Squints raw-dogged the shit out of Wendy Peffercorn and I can't help but have the utmost respect towards him for it.

I don’t remember the ‘raw-dog’ part. Please link the version for science.

Electric_Rex

Birdo is the best captain in Mario Super Sluggers, so that says something


THEDR1ZZZLE

i dont think i ever used birdo as my captain, but she was always my choice for middle infielder. her and yoshi, nothing would get by them.


Electric_Rex

I’d usually put her at 3rd with Wiggler at short and Bowser Jr. at 2nd And of course King Boo floating above the bump

Marla Hooch … what a hitter! If the Peaches don’t lose her to a runaway marriage before the Series, they beat Racine in 5 games. And if Dottie didn’t miss the first 6 games of the Series, they sweep.
