...I was just idly pondering which players in FFX would map up to real-world baseball players. (It should probably be soccer or basketball, but I know nothing about those sports).

I fleetingly thought of Tidus and "The Freak" Lincecum, since both are young phenoms, but Lincecum's too much of a cool cucumber.

So then I thought, "Milton Bradley."

No, no, and no. Tidus is angsty, but not angry. Still, can you just see Milton Bradley blundering his way through Spira and occasionally getting into shouting matches with random priests? Punching the save spheres and breaking them? Occasionally forgetting there was still one fiend left and walking off the field of battle before the party got the last out?


Wakka reminds me of Derek Jeter, but Jeter actually had a winning team for a while, so I guess Wakka must be Adrian Gonzales. Still, Jeter with Wakka's accent would be amusing.

Keepa as Brian McCann, or possibly Prince Fielder.

Bickson as Jose Reyes. That guy loves to show up his opponents.

Botta as Ryan Church. Somewhat hapless, and the bandage and scratches on his face suggest several head-on collisions.

I'll stop now, since this is far too much geekery!
