Anyway, if it's done right, aracadey baseball can be fun. I loved Ken Griffey Jr. baseball on SNES, and the original RBI was one of the best games ever. Of course, for my money, the original "Bases Loaded" and "Hardball" on C64 are among the best baseball games ever...

Hardball was revolutionary back in the day. It was a bummer though when I realized that the guys place in the lineup determined how fast he was, power he had, etc. That and I think that Barnes guy for the blue team could run faster than the ball.
