MLB 09: The Show is back for the 2009 baseball season with all the authentic baseball action that baseball and video game fans have come to expect from the longest running officially licensed Major League Baseball game series on PlayStation platforms. The fourth game in the series, MLB 09 also includes a wealth of new features such as Road to the Show 3.0, Franchise Mode 2.0, Online Season Leagues and Hotshot Fielding.
Dedicated to authenticity in gameplay, as well as keeping up with current superstars of the National Pastime, MLB 09: The Show contains over 700 new gameplay animations, more than 150 new personalized pitcher and batter routines and hundreds of new presentation animations. In addition, the game also recognizes subtleties surrounding the action that are as much a part of the game as anything on the field. Just a few of these are the creeping shadows of a twilight game, the wear and tear a field will show as the season progresses, scoreboard animations, and changes in the clothing of the fans as the season moves from spring, summer and into fall. An Update to 'The Road to the Show' Previous versions of The Road to the Show functionality have allowed not only for extensive customization of in-game players, but also for the ability to play offense and defense through that player's eyes. This year with Road to the Show 3.0 players can take this fine tuning even further with a new steal and lead off system, inter-active training through mini-games and enhanced interaction with managers and coaches as customized players make their way off the bench and into MLB superstardom. Hotshot Fielding In the past all too often fielding functionality simply consisted of positioning your player somewhere near the ball, no matter how the ball appears to be hit. But MLB 09's Hotshot Fielding changes all that. Now if a ball looks too hot to handle without a little extra effort then it probably is. If you can master the dynamic player reactions possible through Hotshot Fielding then there may be a golden glove in your future, otherwise your fielder may bungle that shot to the gap or line drive. Online League Play Providing you with the ability to set up leagues with up to 30 teams offering full stat tracking, point benefits and rewards. Customize as you see fit; choose your players, teams, length, rules and much more. Whether it’s you and a couple buddies or 29 of your closest friends, bragging rights are on the line.

MLB Bloopers The Funny Side Of Baseball

And the funniest on-the-field baseball mishaps and brain cramps this side of the new millennium that must be seen to be believed. From sprinklers gone awry to bugs where they don't belong to players coming to the ballpark on skateboards and rickshaws, MLB Bloopers: The Funny Side Of Baseball delivers the laughs and is the perfect DVD for baseball fans who both love their sport and more than a little comic relief.

Covering five DVDs, 12 hours, and a span of 58 years, Vintage World Series Films: New York Yankees is a sweeping time capsule of the history of the Bronx Bombers, and of baseball itself. These are the official films produced by Major League Baseball to summarize each year's World Series, and that means 17 films for the Yankees between 1943 and 2000 ranging from a brief 22 minutes (1943) to over an hour each (the later series). That also means you can see in action some of the great Yankees of the past, including Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Reggie Jackson, and Derek Jeter, plus great opponents such as Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays. And the list of great World Series moments includes Bill Bevens' 1947 almost-no-hitter and Dodger Al Gionfriddo's catch that same year, Tommy Henrich's 1949 walk-off home run (Mickey Owen's dropped third strike after Henrich's strikeout is not here; that was in 1941), Don Larsen's 1956 perfect game, and Reggie Jackson's 1977 home run trio. No, these aren't the complete games, and the constant MLB logo in the corner of the screen seems like an unnecessary intrusion, but baseball fans will find it a treat to have these available at all.
