Tommy Lasorda Baseball

Tommy Lasorda Baseball, released in Japan and Europe as Super League (スーパーリーグ), is a baseball game developed and published by Sega in 1989 for the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis around the world. When it was published in North America, it was one of six launch titles for the Sega Genesis.

Tommy Lasorda personally endorsed this video game; at the time he was the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The game is not licensed by any professional baseball league, making all team and player names fictional. Game modes include single game exhibitions and a 30-game season mode. A pre-game difficulty switch makes the game biased either towards the pitcher, batter, or an equal game of skill between pitcher and batter.

Tommy Lasorda Baseball featured the traditional 1st/2nd person pitching and hitting perspective, as well as top-down fielding and defense. Appearing on the market alongside the Sega Genesis, Tommy Lasorda contained all 28 (at the time) major league ball clubs. All teams were actually trademarked and copyright safe facsimiles of real clubs, as this was before professional league licensing was considered de rigueur for a sports game. With full 25-man rosters and password enabled season progress, players had to manage their club effectively to win the world series.
