CYBERSPORT : THEY DON'T FIT IN THE BIKE SPOKES.The problem with today's kids - don't get us started - is that while they might collect baseball cards, they don't ever play with them. Accidentally crease a corner and, well, there goes the investment. You might as well invest $20 into the new CybrCard, a CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc. CD-ROM in full compact disc read-only memory Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). that's Windows and Macintosh compatible. If you can't play with this on the computer, you've missed the entire point. CybrCard, a company based in New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of , started last season with a set of 28 NFL NFL abbr.

On the Piazza CD-ROM, for example, a video clip archive that can be viewed frame-by-frame includes his first major-league hit and other highlights; a 3-D analysis of his swing (short stride, extra-fast bat, level cut); a scouting report that breaks down his 1996 stats in more ways than Dodgers broadcaster Ross Porter could imagine; and a collection of Knight-Ridder newspaper stories written about him. Plus, there's the ability to design your own card, from picking photos to writing the information. The bonus is an interactive baseball trivia game for one or two players. The drawbacks? We're hard-pressed to find any, except where to find CyberCards. The best way to check the cards out, and even order them, is through the company's Website (http://www.cybrcard.com) with a print-out order form, or call the toll-free number (800-436-7722). Kids might not appreciate how much these state-of-the-art ``cards'' offer. And they won't replace the beauty of a Topps '54 Mantle card in mint condition. But they do have an entirely worthy value all their own. CAPTION(S): Photo Photo: no caption (Mike Piazza CyberCard) |
