I dont even play the newer versions of mlb the show anymore, the one ive played the most is 20 with Javy on the cover, but if Pete is the cover athlete, I might get it

I’m still playing Power Pros 2008 with Soraino, Ramierez, Lee, Theriot, etc.

I’ve been waiting for a new Power Pros for years! I was hoping Ohtani being popular would convince Konami to pick up the series again, but nah lol

They released one on Switch but it’s not MLB related it uses the Japanese teams.

There is a curse with being on the front of a Sports Game Cover. Caleb got on the front of Madden. We saw what happen with that one.

First of many end of season awards for Pete

What's the difference between player of the year and MVP? They seem like redundant awards.

I believe it's the baseball writers association that selects MLB MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year.

There’s two MVPs but only one PotY

u/AvonBarksDoodle 8d ago

u/Pandamanda- 8d ago

Reminds me of when he talked about feeling the pressure more when fans chanted his name.

u/NextGen-Panic 8d ago

He grew up SO MUCH this year from moments like that.

Plus, you KNOW the 2 Calebs will be teaching him some Iceman (I think Caleb Wilson is just as "crazy" to win as Williams is).

I'm so fucking excited for the future of Chicago sports.

We've waited our whole lives for the city to rise up together.

He probably thought the same thing I thought after his at bat. This is going to be a long night.
