Official Description (Ad Blurb)
EVERY PITCH HAS THE POWER TO SEPARATE THE MEN FROM THE BOYS. WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGUES!
- You've got 9 innings to prove yourself at the plate in the only LCD hand held game licensed by Major League Baseball.
- The computer controls the team on the field and you'll have to do some serious slugging to bring home the runs.
- Stats are where it's at, so the high score is kept on record.
- Fast, curve, or change-up pitches will be fired at you randomly. Keep your eye on the ball so you know when to swing. That's the only way you'll hear the bat crack.
