This probably comes from a couple of things IMO....

1. Those who played All Star Baseball 2005. The expansion mode was just a HELL of a lot of fun. If it wasn't so cumbersome to hook up the XBox or PS2....I'd probably fire it up again.

2. Just an "alternate universe" .......I'm sure all of us love replicating the MLB....but to be able to or see another team relocate(and/or have two new teams enter into your league) at some point in your franchise is exciting. Same with a new stadium....I couldn't wait until (whatever year it was...I can't remember now) that the Mets and Yankees got their new stadiums in ASB2005!
Hearing the news that the Montreal Misfits and Louisiana Lumpfish are entering the league in 2021 and you have to figure out who to protect on your roster for the expansion draft(who remembers what big names were left unprotected in the real expansion draft? )....adds a great element.
It's just to spice things up!

I still play from time to time my ASB 2005 expansion season with the Louisville Horseman. We play at Whitaker Grounds.

Love that game!

I see people keep referring to expansion teams 2005 when it first came out on ASB 1999 on the Nintendo 64. I played every ASB they put out. Man that sure takes you back.

Product Description

This is the game All Star Baseball 99 for the Nintendo 64.

From the Manufacturer

Over 700 Major League Baseball players are represented by skinned polygons with a smooth natural look that simulates muscle tone. There is also over 500 animations that gives players a very smooth look when they move. You will be able to track stats in over 60 categories. In addition to the usual season modes you can start a fantasy baseball mode in which you can create and draft your own team. You can also create trade sign and release players. During the season you can call players up from a 15-player farm team to make up for injuries.

The series began in 1998 with the release of All-Star Baseball '99. ... managing an existing Major League Baseball team, or creating a team. Many North American cities are available for “expansion” in addition to Mexico City and Puerto Rico.
