I see very few (if any) non-Latinos or African Americans do in IRL.

Is Rollins latin? If he is, then i guess so, but i'm pretty sure he isn't.

Yeah, but i figured more people knew what christians are and catholics was too specific.

I love walk-off home runs. I was just playing a game against the Reds, and Reed Johnson hit a walk-off 3-run homer in the 11th giving the Cubs the 4-7 win, and I love how when he got to the plate the players start jumping and it totally looks like they're beating him up. :lol:

Walk off's are done really well in this game. My favorite is the shot of the losing pitcher watching the runner. And then the bunny hop at the end.

Even better is if you have a Wii and have created characters that look like you and your friends. The bunny hop dogpile seen just becomes surreal.

ALOT of the Latin American players do the sign of the cross before batting, after they get any type of fielded hit and or HR.

When we had Pudge, and with Miguel before batting and after they got some sort of hit, they did the sign of the cross and pointed to the sky as in thanks lord for the hit...

After 10+ years of watching Detroit baseball, you tend to notice little thigns about your players. Specially your favorites at that. :wink:

Yeah, I noticed that too. I think that if a player gets an RBI (not sure whether it has to be a double) he'll do a fist pump.

I thought I saw him do the fist pump at first base. But I could just be confusing myself with third base. :roll:

Wow, some players have their own homerun scenes?
