Why wait until October to see who’ll win the World Series? From spring training through a 162-game season and playoffs, the obsessively detailed All-Star Baseball 2001 lets you out-MVP Derek Jeter, Mark McGwire, and more than 700 other MLB players with quick, responsive action at every position (you’ll love the ability to control a pitch—in the air—on its way to a batter). Fenway, Camden Yards, and every other MLB ballpark look so real, you might try to hail a hot-dog vendor in your den. And there’s even a Field of Dreams–style cornfield, perfect for the game’s most intriguing feature—putting a Hall of Fame team (featuring legends such as Reggie Jackson and Nolan Ryan) up against today’s spoiled pretty boys.
