A good read for those of us old enough to remember this game. I certainly do...

For those who go back further, SEGA World Series Baseball 94. Juan Gonzalez was an unstoppable monster.

@SaveFarris_PSN Not sure if I ever played that one, of if I even had a regular sega. I was probably playing Ken Griffey Jr. baseball on Super Nintendo back then.

Good call. ....My first (memorable) baseball video game was "RBI Baseball" in the late 80's on the OG NES...You could control the ball's movement after the pitch was released. I remember throwing breaking pitches in the dirt with the Mets' Darling, Gooden, and Jesse Orozco... striking out, and frustrating my friend.
.... Good memories...(btw Lenny Dykstra was a beast in that game).

@xElRojo44x-_MLBTS I definitely played that game, but don’t have any memory of the actual game. I was pretty young.

Baseball Stars

For me is Baseball Stars on original Nintendo. The one that started it all

My introduction was Baseball on NES, but Super RBI Baseball on SNES was the game that got me looked on baseball and where I learned a lot of names.
It was officially licensed by MLBPA and had all of the MLB stadiums which was huge back then. Used to crank homers with Paul O'Neill.
They even had all-time teams like '92 Blue Jays and '89 A's. What are we doing MLB The Show???

Anything pre O'Bannon is irrelevant. That's when all the rules changed.

This was my GOAT game for years.

i loved All_Star Baseball. Their expansion mode was awesome. I wish MLB The Show had expansion mode for franchise.

Baseball Stars
Still my favorite baseball game. The original one... not the sequels (those were... bad).
-
I miss the 2K games. In many ways they had cool features that to this day haven’t been replicated. Like I remember you could make the game start at any time in the 24 hour period. You could start a game at 4am and see the sunrise near the end of the game. I also loved how the jerseys would blow when it was windy. Just little things like that.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL Those Lovely Ladies were no Joke! LOL

My earliest Baseball was Triple Play Baseball on the PC back in 2001, there was a really great hitting mode where the field was a desk and I loved it as a kid.
But after that I was MVP 04 never had 05 so I have all the nostalgia for the previous version and that amazing soundtrack! I've actually been listening to it lately.
