Re: Throwback Thursday: Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball

Not as nostalgic for me, but I remember playing this game back in school. One of my teachers brought in his SNES to class and we used to hook it up on the TV and this was one of the only games he owned. I think it was this game and TMNT.

A simpler time when the vintage "RBI" style gameplay was all you needed. I loved the headlines after each season game ("Yankees Manager Fired!"). I ruled the roost with my Giants and then promptly got swept by the Twins in the World Series. I also remember that it included the option of playing with the then-proposed three division format instead of the two divisions. I also took a season end issue of Baseball Weekly and pored through every team's stats to give everybody their actual name. It probably would've boggled my younger self to know I could simply Google this today.

Eventually I sold it for credit at a local used game store for reasons I still don't know. Sure, I can fire it up on an emulator, but actually owning the cartridge would complete it. I wonder what my cartridge's eventual new owner thought when he saw actual player names instead of fake ones? (Except for my name in place of the then-recently departed Will Clark, even though I'm a righty).

Loved and still love this game. One of the rare baseball games where I actually played a full 162 game season...

Loved the Rangers of the time, there wasn't a soft spot in their lineup back then.

Loved those moments where you could steal a homer by climbing the wall or as I often did for giggles, just running my man smack into the wall to watch him get knocked out.

YES! this was one of my fav sports games of all times. We used to call it KGJ. I played this game religiously.. I actually still have my copy and the manual. I never caught on to the rosters being themed tho. im suprised i never did pick that up as much as i used to play this, but then again i was only like 14.

I've always wished they included stadium tours, I feel like what lies beyond the outfield wall is such a mystery. It was always exciting to see if you would spot anything cool when hitting a long bomb. I've looked around online and can't find anything

To this day my favorite all-time MLB player is the Kid because of this game. I started watching games on TV because of this and switched to hitting lefty because of him and specifically this game. This absolutely makes my Mount Rushmore of favorite games ever. Thank you for this blast from the past!
