Reds Players Playing a Double Header In Cleveland

You walk into a major league clubhouse and expect to see players talking to their agents, watching video and answering fan mail.

All of the above goes on.

Yet there are also card games and today, a hard-fought video game.

An RBI video baseball game from the mid 80's.  Todd Frazier had the Red Sox with Roger Clemens pitching.  Johnny Cueto put Mike Krukow on the mound.

Mat Latos sat on a couch behind them that served as box seats.

D Baylor came to bat and Latos, who was born in 1987,  turned to reporters to ask if it was Don Baylor.

It was amazing watching young men who play the actual game for a living, competing in a video game.

Bronson Arroyo walked through the clubhouse and Latos called him over.

"Come here a minute monkey," Latos said.  "I was playing Paul awhile ago.  I was playing as the Pirates and shut him down.  Guess who was pitching?  You."

Arroyo was nine years old in 1986.

It was a tight game but Frazier as Dwight Evans broke it open with a home run off Cueto pitching as Scott Garrelts.

"Oh he left one over the dish," Frazier shouted as the electronic ball landed in the electronic seats.

I can not print what Cueto said in clear plain English.
