There have been a ton of different baseball titles over the years. Some titles had player’s endorsing it, others were exclusively on one game system, and others couldn’t use players’ names because it was not endorsed by the MLB. That got me thinking, what are the top MLB games of all time? Now, I can’t make this completely biased to my life, so I had a couple of MLBtoday.net’s correspondents assist me in making this list.

Did we miss any? (I’m sure we did.) Leave a comment on your favorites!

9) Super Baseball 2020 (SNES) – While not an “Official MLB” game, it was a blast to play. First off, almost everything was in fair territory allowing for a lot of high scoring games. There were sticky traps on the fields along with trampolines to add instant action into games. You could play as dudes, chicks busting out of their uniforms, or a distant cousin of R2D2. You also racked up money throughout the game, so you if needed a big hit or for your bullpen to be better than the 2009 Cleveland Indians, and not blow 5+ run leads, you could power up any player you wanted. When you hit those 900 feet home runs you always felt pumped up! – JON BUGGEY

8 ) MLB (NES) – I like to think of this game as the first baseball game ever on Nintendo, because I’m not sure if it really was. This game was a lot of fun to play because it featured great pitching duels and monster homeruns combined. The fielding was fun and challenging at the same time. The coolest part of the game is that it featured official MLB rosters and stats from 1988, but it only labeled players from their numbers. Therefore, you had to figure out who the players were from either the player’s number and/or stats. – CHRIS HORN

7) Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball (SNES) – This is absolutely the best baseball game ever created, quote it, site it, I don’t care… The game is that amazing. It’s an easy game to get good at, but a hard one to master. You have to legit practice or play as much as possible to acquire the necessary skills to beat the AL, which is a lost art in today’s video games. Two years ago, I actually played a full 162 game season with the Yankees, most fun while being a dork. It was superb, always a challenge, never boring, and I constantly found room for improvement. If I had time, I would do it again. I have that much fun playing the game. I could go on further, but I am tired and its past my bedtime. – DEREK SMITH.  This may be the last baseball game I’ve played. I’m not a video game player, but boy was this game AMAZING! – JASON COSMA

6) Baseball! (Odyssey) – Most of you are probably asking what Odyssey is and not focusing on the choice of game. Well, Odyssey is just a really old cartridge system that used about 2-bit graphics. Back to the game, this baseball game had to have been the first ever made. The field is literally the same shape as the screen, so yes, the outfield wall is completely straight across the top of the screen unlike any existing baseball field ever. Oh yeah, and every player in the field moves in the direction you move the joy-stick in unison. Hilarious. – CHRIS HORN

5) World Series Baseball 1995 (Game Gear) – World Series Baseball for Game Gear was terrific. Yeah, that’s not a typo, Game Gear ladies and gentleman, game gear. – DEREK SMITH.  I used to kill with Mickey Tettelton in that game. – JON BUGGEY.  I concur on World Series baseball for game gear. I played that game way too much, and it was awesome. – KYLE KAZIMER

4) Griffey’s Winning Run (SNES) – This was the very first video game that I ever owned, and it was one of the best purchases I have ever made. The game featured fake names for players, but they were so great and were like puns. There were guys like Bolt Lightning (Randy Johnson), Frank Liberty (Albert Belle), and Lou Junior (Cal Ripken Jr.). Oh yeah, and I remember being about 140 games into a full season when my bonehead neighbor came into my house, turned on the game, started a season with the Yankees (erasing mine), and then didn’t even finish one game. Was I annoyed? Umm, yes. – CHRIS HORN

3) MLB The Show (PS3) – Right now I own MLB The Show 09. It’s almost too realistic. – GALEN JOHNSON.  I haven’t tried this game because I do not have a system to support the game. Although, I’ve heard great things about it. – CHRIS HORN

2) MVP Baseball 2005 (PS2) – I still think this is better than any new baseball game out there and I still play it today. This game is just awesome. I love the franchise mode, the minor league players (though most of them aren’t real names, you can find a website that has all the names of the top 100 prospects which include Cole Hamels, Francisco Liriano, and Fausto Carmona to name a few off the top of my head). The game can be very challenging as well. You could win one game 10-1 but then lose the next three with scores of 3-2, 5-1, or even get shutout. – JON BUGGEY

1) Ken Griffey Jr.’s Slugfest (N64) – Ken Griffey’s Slugfest is the baseball game that I played the absolute most. I must have played through at least 2 or 3 full seasons. It was the first Griffey game with real player’s names which was awesome. It also allowed you to use a hitting circle which provided more of challenge to hit the pitch. I was pumped that I could play with David Justice and no matter what team I played with I traded for him. I also liked that pitchers had different pitches you could use instead of controlling your fastball by how hard you press down on the D-pad – JON BUGGEY.  Slugfest is truly incredible. If I still had my N64, I’m pretty sure I would play this game throughout the baseball season. Depending on how good you were, you could change the difficulty to match your level of play. There were real stadiums and real players which brought a realistic part to the game. There was even a code you could punch in that would allow your outfielder to fly. That was pretty funny. – CHRIS HORN
