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

@MarioMendoza935_XBL Love the nostalgia. My fondest baseball game memories are of World Series Baseball on Sega Saturn. Specifically, the year when the league expanded with the then Devil Rays and Dbacks. For whatever reason that game sticks out to me.

Not sure which year we had, but also loved World Series Baseball.
Two things that always stood out were the collisions at the plate and the no-doubt HR animations. Fun times.

I still remember the first time i played Bases Loaded thinking to myself "This is it. No sports game will ever be as real as this."

@MarioMendoza935_XBL, thanks for this. Was a good read... fun to go back.
I have to say I was a 989 guy at the time, but do remember thinking that each of them, except maybe All Star Baseball, had something interesting to offer (I was buying every game on the major consoles at the time).
The game changer that I'll always remember, though, was Intellivision baseball; pretty lame, by today's standards, but such a leap from what I'd been playing on the Atari.
Good times...

Yep .. I still remember that song "Swing, Swing" or something like that.
... It was a catchy tune I guess. -

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.

@SaveFarris_PSN
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
