Grade 1-6-Introduced as "a simple game to teach what to do when you get the ball," this fully interactive CD-ROM, endorsed by Little League Baseball, should be viewed by all young baseball players. Divided into six innings, the game teaches players what to do in a variety of situations. Innings one through five focus on specific skills-knowing where the forced out is, knowing what the best out is, covering the bases, backing up the play, and cutting off the throw. In each inning, first the skill is explained both orally and in written text, and then the player is given the opportunity to choose the best option in several animated scenarios. If the player selects an incorrect option, the program provides a complete explanation of the correct response. All explanations and rules are well narrated by Drew, a 12-year-old Little League player. Inning six, "Where's the Play," is a three-level quiz: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Each level quizzes the player on skills learned in the previous innings. Explanations are given along the way for incorrect answers, and a score is awarded at the end of the quiz. The program features high quality graphics and multiethnic boy and girl players. An invaluable tool for all children interested in playing baseball.

Baseball Learning Tool,
By A Customer
This review is from: Where's The Play? (CD-ROM) (CD-ROM)
Very good learning tool that gives you practical situations that come up over and over again in Little League as well as other youth league situations. Digesses a bit from the "book" on certain situations but is well worth the purchase. Extremely easy to go through. The interactive aspect is terrific and my kids stay at this thing like it is a video game. Baseball purest will get a great kick out of this. I can think of some real major league teams that can use this item.
