I didn't even know powered glasses were a thing. I just remember trying it with the carboard ones that came in the box and instantly going back to playing the game without them.

Beautiful day here in MO today, doug. No reason to be suffering through those Cinci winters. The winters really are lousy here. Plus being right across from the Ohio river, I require an attorney that's licensed to practice on Ohio and Kentucky and he's not cheap. I've been to St. Louis and the old Busch Stadium, of course it was so long ago that Ozzie Smith was still the shortstop. As good as he was, I still think Barry Larkin was the better overall player.

To make it work with the cardboard glasses, they would have needed to make the colors a lot lighter. I make 3d comic books like this one: https://bit.ly/3dcomic so I know how to make it work.

I assume you're referring to the Famicom 3d system, which used Active Shutter glasses. Those work by alternated which lens is open and flickering between the two images on the screen. It wouldn't require the red/blue (anaglyphic 3d), which accomplishes the same thing by color filtration method. Active shutter would look better because the colors would not have to be altered. The method used in movie theatres these days is with polarized lenses, projecting overlapping images with vertical and horizontal polarities. The drawback to this method, is that the lenses also filter out a percentage of the light, resulting in a noticeably darker image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkin > The Wizard of Oz? Laughable. And thats why Ozzie was starting ss for national league in the all star game every year. Met Ozzie at a bar once. Very approachable and friendly. Also, old busch and new busch are night and day different. Jokes aside about moving, it would be worth a weekend trip to stl to see reds play stl here. Not just the stadium, but downtown Stl in that area has gotten a lot nicer overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the stadium, but downtown Stl in that area has gotten a lot nicer overall Larkin as at least on par defensively since he started winning gold gloves when Ozzie got older. Larkin was a way better overall hitter and the first shortstop to have a 30/30 season. The ironic thing is that the Reds picked before the Yankees in the 1992 draft and could have had a middle infield of Derek Jeter and Barry Larkin for 15+ years, but instead they took Chad Mottola who only played in 35 games for the Reds in 1996. That's almost as bad as the Bengals taking John Ross one pick ahead of Patrick Mahomes in 2017. Edited August 30, 2023 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly why he was NOT on par defensively. He didn't start winning those gold gloves til ozzie was old enough to be out of the way. Ozzie was still doing backflips before every game though even in his old age. Seeing pregrame ozzie backflips used to be one of the most iconic things about going to busch stadium. As a kid, that was cooler/bigger than meeting fredbird Edited August 30, 2023 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing pregrame ozzie backflips used to be one of the most iconic things about going to busch stadium. As a kid, that was cooler/bigger than meeting fredbird I saw him do the pregame backflip. That was the one thing I saw him do better than Barry Larkin. Ozzie had a .262 career average with 28 home runs. Barry Larkin hit .295 and had five more home runs in 1996 than Ozzie had in his 19 year career. Barry also had 167 more RBIs and a MVP award. They were both gold glove shortstops so how is it even close? https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/1125646-ozzie-smith-vs-barry-larkin-whos-the-better-major-league-shortstop.amp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
