White Sox @ Indians, 7/17/07

All praise Ryan Garko! Fantastic stuff --and more reason to love this team. It's nights like tonight when you're also reminded of just how young the Tribe is, which I consider good thing. They just have so much enthusiasm. I can't even imagine how Gutierrez and Francisco must be feeling.

And let's not ignore the old guys! It's nice to see Trot Nixon come through when it counted tonight.

But what's the big news tonight? Well, the AP write-up of the game included this little tidbit:

The Indians have had a season-long obsession with "RBI Baseball," the old-school Nintendo video game popular in the 1980s. Since Sunday, players and clubhouse staffers have been competing in a 16-team tournament, complete with seedings.

As a man who lives in an apartment with not one but TWO original Nintendo systems, this is awesome.

How could anyone NOT love this team?
