Milwaukee Brewers are kicking off their season in a few hours. We’re getting ready for a full 162 game season for the first time in two years. As my podcast co-host Mitch Ross said yesterday, ‘Enjoy this one because it might be the last one you get for a while with the impending lockout coming next year. One of the annual traditions for video gamers who are also baseball fans is the debut of ‘MLB The Show 21.’ Some have called The Show, the greatest sports video game series going right now, and replaced Madden as the top dog in the video game world. The trailer for this year’s versions leans heavily into the former players which include former Brewers like Prince Fielder and Robin Yount.

Yount and Fielder will be part of the Brewers’ legends team. I have no idea how that works. I don’t pretend to be a video gamer, although, I enjoyed baseball video games. They took forever, but there was something so rewarding about playing out a season. I typically played two games, simulated one, and that was my cadence. I played MVP Baseball 2005 until my eyes bled out. Both Yount and Fielder’s swings look perfect though. They did a great job replicating both players for the game.
