An Amiga original which magazines compared to brand new games over a decade later as THE definitive baseball game. It is intellectually as well as personally a definitive Amiga title, and I sure do wish those who loved the Amiga would give it the respect it deserves. We'll read from the manual, show off a good 10 reviews from back in the day as well as mentions of it from much later, such as hall of fame placements! We'll get into some memories, compare the game with the DOS port, and a lot more. Shown on actual Amiga hardware with a 4:3 CRT screen in NTSC mode, as designed. On a personal note, this video has been worked on since April of 2019, nearing 3 years.
