I've only just gotten around to watching this, but I want to say that I'm glad this LP is showcasing the tragicomedy of baseball. It's good stuff.

In rough order of difficulty:

* As a batter: Hit at least 3 foul balls in the same at-bat

* As an outfielder: Jump to catch a ball that was flying over the fence

* As a pitcher: Pitch to all 4 corners of the strike zone

* As a batter: Hit the ball and bean the pitcher with it

I'm not even sure if the game will let you do the last one, but it's worth a try.

It'll be just like those radio broadcasters talking about baseball, history, and street philosophy over the airwaves, while you just have to imagine what kind of baseball is going on.

Or a podcast if you want to spoil the fun.

I choose to believe the catcher ironically had too much faith in Pnurtis' ability to Run Fast and Steal Bases, and actually whiffed the tag too early, at which point Pnurtis unceremoniously shambled onto home plate.

That doesn't explain the second stolen home plate though :stare:

When I wrote that achievement, I sincerely thought the challenge was going to be maxing out the stat, and aiming the pitch well enough to actually get up to that speed... not just "managing to stay in the major league long enough to actually throw a pitch that you've been throwing for months".

Still, well done! I think it's good to have some nice simple achievements entirely under your own control.
