2K Sports today announced that MLB® Stickball, an exciting, fast-paced, multiplayer game that puts gamers against each other to see whose team can win a classic game of stickball, is scheduled to be available on the Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft on October 8th.

In MLB® Stickball, gamers can buy and collect packs of Topps “Big Head” Major League Baseball cards. Each time a pack is opened, those players are unlocked and added to each Major League team to play!

Part of the fun of stickball is the custom rules for each city, just like the rules kids create when they play in their own neighborhoods! MLB® Stickball can be played on the streets of a number of big cities, including New York, San Francisco and Boston. In addition to scoring runs in the stickball game itself, there will be objects scattered throughout each environment that serve as targets or hazards for the batter. Smack the ball off the fire hydrant and get it to spray water into the street and your team will be richly rewarded; break a window, though, and you’re out!

I wish someone would make a decent Wiffleball game. I don't know how many more summers my elbow will hold up.

Coming soon: MLB Turn Two! Ever wanted to turn a ground ball into two outs? Now you can! *Bonus* Turn Three for a sweet surprise!

Coming soon: NBA 2kHORSE! Kevin Garnett, Carmelo Anthony, and over 20 other famous NBA stars battle it out at playgrounds across the country. Who is the best at throwing it underhanded off the top of the backboard and in for a swish? Find out this December!

Coming soon: 500! One QB, 5 receivers, 100% Fun! Choose from Chad Pennington, Philip Rivers, and other gunslingers as you chuck it downfield! Play the likes of Jumbo Elliot, Warren Sapp, John Tait and more as you try to be the first to rack up 500 points and get the win! Catch the "Mystery Throw" for even more fun!
