Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original; anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. For the specifics, look to the photos — they're of this exact item. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

All 26 Major League clubs of 1987, with lineups and uniform colors matched to that season's rosters: that was the promise of LJN's Major League Baseball, one of the first NES cartridges to carry an official MLB license.

The catch, which baseball game collectors love to explain, is that the license covered the league but not the Players Association, so the players have no names. Every hitter and pitcher is identified by uniform number, along with the statistics, abilities and arm strength that tell you who is who. For fans that becomes a fun puzzle of its own, working out which number on the 1987 Twins or Cardinals was the star you remember.

Developed by Atlus, it gives you a real share of the manager's job alongside the batting and pitching. You set your lineup, decide when a tired pitcher has to come out and when a pinch-hitter is worth the gamble, and lean on each player's ratings to make the call, since a name won't help you. On the field it plays with the quirky physics and fielding that came with the earliest NES sports games, which is a big part of its charm now.

It arrived in 1988 in the same early wave of NES baseball as R.B.I. Baseball and Bases Loaded, and it was the one carrying the league's logo. Now it is a snapshot of baseball's 1987 season and of the earliest licensed sports games on the NES, a natural fit for anyone building out the console's baseball shelf.
