input = controller(s)"Sports Talk Baseball" is a Mega Drive/Genesis sports game where a realistic announcer does the play-by-play (voiced by
Lon Simmons ). Unlike realprofessional baseball however, the game ends when one team has 10 or more runs than the other team (win by domination, or "mercy," rule). Players can play either exhibition, regular season, all-star, or playoff games. The game also features authenticMajor League Baseball rosters for the 1991 season. Gameplay commonly features double and triple plays, and only the fastest runners in the game are capable of stealing bases. It was one of the first video games to feature individual hitting abilities for each pitcher.Barry Bonds of thePittsburgh Pirates is the game's best player. TheOakland Athletics and the Texas Rangers are the two best teams. Classic match-ups include Texas'Nolan Ryan versus Oakland's lineup with such all-stars asJose Canseco ,Rickey Henderson ,Dave Henderson , andMark McGwire .Sonic the Hedgehog cameo
When you play as the batter, if you hit the ball hard enough, you can see a black-and-white picture of Sonic the Hedgehog on a billboard with the name "Sonic" under it.
