The Official Nintendo Player's Guide (1987):
IT'S A GRAND SLAM!
You're up at bat. The pitch is low and fast. You swing and miss but you signal your man on second to try to steal third. The throw is late, and he's safe. Whether it's base running, batting, pitching, or fielding, you're there feeling the pressure to give it your all and come through for the team--and your fans! Hit and run, squeeze bunts, sacrifice bunts, do whatever it takes for the old ball game.
GAME PLAY: When at bat, you position yourself in the batter's box and swing at the pitches that look good. Your base runners go on your command whether it's stealing, advancing, or tagging up. In the field, you pick your pitch--fast ball, curve ball, slow ball, or screwball. When the ball is hit, your fielders throw to the base you pick or tag the runner as he goes by. Better yet, lead the runner off base, and then tag him out in a pickle. Just add peanuts, popcorn, and Cracker Jacks for the time of your life.

Back of Box - Game Boy:
Strategy, skill and determination.
It takes all three to win at Baseball!
Choose a starting pitcher from your bullpen. (Mario is an old favorite.)
Hurl fastballs past the batter. If he connects, your outfield backs up to snag a fly.
A sturdy infield backs you up on grounders and pop-ups. Three outs later and your team is up.
Take a strike to feel out the pitcher. Then drive a long one. It's a home run!
Challenge the Game Boy or use the Video Link cable to take on a friend in realistic Baseball action!
