I was just talking about Spike Owen the other day. Why, you ask? Who the hell talks about Spike Owen in 2024, you ask? Obviously, a friend and I were playing Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball for the Super Nintendo. Yes, I'm about to turn 45 and I still regularly play a 30-year-old video game on an obsolete console. I wouldn't say I'm proud of this— why would anyone be proud of such a thing— but I'm not ashamed either. Though perhaps I should be slightly concerned that I still enjoy it so much. Oh well, there are far worse vices to have. And here's the really surprising thing. I pulled Owen off the bench for the Yankees because of his 9 (out of 10) rating on defense, and he ended up being my most productive bat by far. (You really let me down, Danny Tartabull, Wade Boggs, Bernie Williams, and Donnie Baseball.) It goes without saying that I lost.
Of course, I realize no one cares about any of this. But on the off chance Spike Owen is out there scouring the internet for mentions of his name, I wanted him to know that somewhere in the universe, in pixelated, cartoonish form, he's still coming in clutch. Revel it in, Spike!
Wow, amazing coincedence!
