What players have you gone to dinner with? I've gotten Chad Moehler and Dave Borkowski so far. And does your ability have to do with the talent of the player that talks to you?

no. probably not

but i got Randy Johnson, Chris Snyder, and Ethan Oakley.

I think it sucks that they are the ones asking about going out to eat but you have to pay for the food.

The players that have asked me are Jason Bay, Xavier Nady, Doug Mientkiewicz, Brian Bixler, Matt Capps, Freddy Sanchez, John Van Benschoten, Ronny Paulino, Chris Snyder, Brandon Webb and Brandon Lyon. I got traded to the D-Backs from the Buccos.

I just got Darin Erstad and Kaz Matsui.

What I've noticed is that while going out to dinner with a teammate will get them added to your friend list, if you don't keep doing free time stuff with them the friendship level will drop and they'll come off your list.

Only benefit I've seen from having a friendship level with teammates is that twice I've worn out my spikes while on the road and a teammate who was on my friend list lent me a pair for a game until I could get with John (Mizzotto rep) to get a new pair. That was kind of cool.

If you golf enough and bring along a friend, he may introduce you to a fellow player and you all play golf.

We were on a long roadtrip and I didn't notice I only had 1 bat left, so it broke and I had to bum bats off of my friends until I got home. This was before I met the John guy.

How many times do you need to golf before you can ask a friend? All I can do with my friends is go to movies, play chess or go for a drive.

I practiced golf about 3-5 times before it said I could invite friends to go golfing with me.

All right. I'll do that.

I think if you improve your hobby ability (Golf, Chess, Fishing, Etc.) beyond the first rank you are able to invite friends to partake in the activity as well.

When you invite them to gold if will say "I shot a 71, So and so shot a 74 - I win" or you could also lose to him.
Does anyone know if beating your friend in the game affects your skill increase?

Also, on occasion your friend will invite someone along allowing you to possible beat both of them (again, does this make your stat increase faster?) and you gain a new friend to call up.

Two player wins increase your power and contact but 3 player wins don't. At least this has been my experience so far. And I've been going golfing with Michael and Roy Oswalt a lot.

I went golfing with Adam Dunn yesterday and he invited Ken Griffey Jr. along. Heh.

i had a 3 player win that got my stats increased
