GameTrailers was decent enough to put up a sample video from MLB The Show ’11 in which Josh Beckett strikes out Jimmy Rollins, even though in the description it describes it as a “90 second duel between Josh Beckett and Ryan Howard.”While it’s not out of the question that some of Ryan’s more humiliating strikeouts should require him to take credit for a few of his teammate’s, that #11 and the name “ROLLINS” on the back of the jersey is a pretty clear indication of mistaken identity.
The best part, however, happens when J-Roll goes down “swinging” and a CGI Citizens Bank Crowd rises to its feet, about to unleash a collective batch of Philadelphian hostility on anybody in their way.
