Product Description

"Ken Griffey, Jr. Presents Major League Baseball is a Super NES baseball game that was released in 1994. The game has a Major League Baseball license but not a Major League Baseball Players Association license, meaning that the game has real stadiums and real teams, but not real players. The imaginary players have the same statistics as their real-world counterparts, and the game comes with a name-changing feature that allows players to change the athletes' names." - Wikipedia

Read that title, and do some soul searching to find the answer we all seek. Where would we be without Ken Griffey Jr. baseball for SNES? I'll let you ponder that for a while. I'll tell you where we'd be:
1. We'd be deprived of hours upon hours of home run derby with classic hitters such as Can O'corn, Nick Noheart, and Barny Tater.
2. We'd be missing out on right fielders throwing absolute bullets from the fence to gun the fool who thought he could score.
3. We wouldn't understand what good music is, I mean, this soundtrack is unbeatable.
4. We wouldn't know that it was humanly possible to hit a 575 foot home run.
5. We've all learned you can never think of messing with a pickle because all infielders run a 2.4 40 yard dash (lightning speed)
6. There's the fact that every pitcher throws about 105 mph, more or less.

Basically, our lives would be dull and meaningless. We would know nothing of the true sport of baseball and how silly of a game it can be.

On the more serious side, this game is a classic, it has provided hours upon hours of fun for the young and old. It started a baseball revolution. Your Super Nintendo collection is incomplete without Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball. Play, laugh, learn, love...and stop reading my review it is numbing your mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Home Run, April 3, 2011

This review is from: Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball (Video Game)

In my mind, it's the best baseball game ever made. It's short on realism, but long on fun. Not to sound like an old timer, but the baseball games these days can take up to an hour to play. You can do a game of this in 15 minutes. It's a bit of a bummer that the game doesn't save computer player stats as the year progresses, but the game is pretty old. If you're looking for some fun nostalgia, pick this game up.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good baseball game., June 24, 2002

Even though I got this game about 7 years ago, it is a decent baseball game. I never made it through an entire 162 game season because I didn't have that much time on my hands but the game never got boring to me. I really liked the home run derby in this game even though you only got to select from one of 6 characters which 4 of them were weak and probably not used anyways.
