I spent ridiculous amounts of time playing Tony LaRussa Baseball and going through all the stats. Also, i remember loving Gerald Williams who did have 12 points in speed and 12 in power (the max if i remember correctly).

Its good to know that somewhere out there the legend of Gerald Williams continues.

For me, it's World Series 95 (Genesis) and MVP 2005 (Xbox).
Early indications are MLB 09 is about to join that list.

1) I totally agree with MVP 05. That's the best modern baseball game ever... I'm not a big fan of EA but that game would be perfect by now if it was still being amde.
2) Little league baseball for NES... Such a classic.

My brother loved Griffey and MVP was huge for me as it got me back into baseball gaming. Going back to the past, Star League Baseball was a lot of fun on the Commodore 64 (I think that's what I used) and Baseball Simulator 1.0000 was the first game that tracked a ton of stats for me.

RBI ( Arcades )
Earl Weaver ( on my Apple IIe )

RBI. Spent countless hours and quarters with my buddy, on our spares, and we would have epic series'

Same thing with Earl Weaver. I really loved the old time players and Stadiums. It was the beginning of a love affair for the classic stadiums for me.

For me, it was Hard Ball 5. I played soooo much.
1- Hard Ball 5 (For the trading engine)
2- High Heat Baseball 2003 (Gameplay, realism and the mods)
3- MLB: The Show 08
4- MVP Baseball 2005 (Gameplay, dynasty mode)
5- FPS 98 (For the amazing stats)

Seeing how many people are complaining about lack of edibility in MLB 2K9, I would've thought that those would be good things.

The two listed are my favorites from their respective console generations. I'd also add in Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball (Still playing it on my phone) and MLB 08 (I don't have 09, but that'll take over that spot once I get it)
