* In Cal Ripken's Real Baseball Online, New York Empire Right Fielder Pete998 popularized the numbers 998 because he is that good. Upon joining the team, Pete998 was told by KidNasty (AKA FunnyJo!, Fatjo, Onslaught) that his name was for "newbs". Pete insisted it was "Pro". Seasons would pass and Pete998 shined as KidNasty failed, and 998 was the new catch phrase for Pro. Pete998 is the only member of the game that can declare someone 998 enough to be 998.
