MVP Baseball to be used in Minor League game

[Qwest]

EA's baseball game will determine the score of the first two innings of a contest between the KC T-Bones and Schaumberg Flyers.

Take me out to the ballgame, and let me play a few innings while you're at it. Minor League baseball clubs are known to have some wacky promotions, but the July 16 game at Community America Ballpark in Kansas City, Kansas, is truly unique.

Two gamers will get the opportunity to play the Xbox version of Electronic Arts' MVP Baseball 2005 on the park's big screen to determine the score of the first two innings of a game between the home field T-Bones and visiting Schaumberg Flyers. After two "virtual" innings, the real teams will take the field and continue the game where MVP left off. The gamers will be selected through a tournament being held at local CompUSAs, which are co-sponsoring the event.

You better hope they are evenly matched. I can imagine a 20-0 score after 2 innings.

they have playable minor league teams in MVP ? I only played it once...

Not that a search would've found it, but this is a repost.

Just an FYI.

Pretty dumb idea. They may as well just have a "free lapdance" night, or "win a date with so and so" night.

I think that is a really unique idea, kudos to the promoters!
I played the hell out of that game this spring when it came out, but Forza owns me now, otherwise I'd still be playing MVP.
It'll be interesting to read what happens.
