But I can very easily see how, in a virtual dice world, you can build in streaks and finally make that marketing pitch true. In other words, simply from time to time heighten the probability that for a series of at bats rolls off a player's card will be on the same column. Haven't you seen some players get "hot" for a series? Like Mattingly hits three homeruns in a series with almost all of his rolls on the 1 column. And the news story says "Mattingly was unconscious out there today". Then next series there is a more random distribution and he sucks.
I lost this game, but enjoyed it nevertheless...

Mattingly hit a fourth home run later off the three column.
This is the exact quote from the box score
Mattingly was unconscious out there.
