Easily the best sports game on the Atari 8-bit, one that I played endlessly in the 1980s. One of my favorite gags from Hardball: substituting any player for the pitcher, then seeing every pitch as a wobbly "fat pitch." Hah!

That Ozzie Smith commercial is awesome! So glad you have it on here.

Until this came along, Star League Baseball was my game of choice when it came to baseball. It was very innovative with the classic centerfield camera of the pitcher and batter. But once the ball is in play, it becomes like any other baseball game. It had quirks, like being able to have up to six outs. Or balls thrown from the outfield REALLY slowing down to indicate distance. Or not being able to go back to base once you've committed to stealing. It had one great feature missing in today's baseball games. You can substitute positions players as pitchers (something that does happen, if rarely, in the big leagues). Another great thing is that if you place players in positions other than their own, they're more prone to making errors.
