Who the hell is Tim Burks?
Although listed as Tim Burks in the NES RBI Manual, he is actually the great Ellis Burks. For those who need further justification, the stats from “Tim” Burks in RBI are the exact same as Ellis Burks’ stats in 1987. Furthermore, according to the official Major League Baseball website, there was never a player named Tim Burks Longtime player Ryan Strass has brought up an excellent question “have you guys given thought to the possibility that the manual probably calls Ellis Burks “Tim” out of confusion with Tim Burke, the Expos’ closer at the time?” – no we haven’t, but I find it the most feasible theory to answering the mystery of Tim Burks.
