   From 1951 to 2000, one in every 158 homeruns were inside the park homeruns, which are even more rare these days. Roberto Clemente has had one of the most rare inside-the-park homeruns in MLB history as he hit a walk-off inside-the-park grand slam to help the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Chicago Cub 9-8 on July 25, 1956.

   We’ve rarely been so conflicted about a baseball game, but MLB 2K9 is a paradox. It’s undeniably fun and accessible, offering plenty of addictive options for hardball fans. It also suffers from too many gaffes that are impossible to ignore. With stiff competition in MLB 09 The Show, 2K9 is fighting an uphill battle this spring.  There’s no doubt we’re well on our way to playing a full 162-game campaign, but we were hoping for a more complete experience this...

   2K Sports pretty much did a reboot from last years title. And I really think it was for the better. Some of the new additions really work but they still have a few things to fix (most notable the bugs here and there). If you own a Xbox 360 system then right now this is the only baseball game in town until “The Bigs 2″ hits. If you are a Sony Playstation 3 owner it is safe to say that most of you will be settling for the popular franchise title “The Show 09″. One... Read more

   I am a huge baseball fan and former pitcher. This game, to me, is a disappointment. It's only redeeming value is the "total control" style of pitching, the only reason i gave this game a "D-". I am not a huge gamer, and have never posted any comments about a video game. This game is so bad though, that i decided to try to save other PS3 owners to not make the same mistake i made. If you are a casual baseball fan, this game is not all bad, but if you are interested in a... Read more
