[edit] Gameplay
In the game there are a few exceptions to normal baseball rules. If a runner is caught stealing to end an inning, the player at bat is not charged with an at bat, but does not start off the next inning. When a hit would be called a single, reached to second on the throw, or a double, reached to third on the throw, these hits are tallied as double and triple, respectively. Also, if the player hits a double, then gets caught in a rundown and tagged out, it does not count as a hit.
The game also does not keep track of a team's record and statistics over the course of multiple seasons or post-seasons. The same goes for individual player stats. However it does keep track of stats over a single season. the real life players in the game include: Cardinals 1B Albert Pujols, Mariners OF Ichiro Suzuki, Cubs 1B Derrek Lee, White Sox 1B Paul Konerko, Phillies OF Bobby Abreu, Nationals 2B/OF Alfonso Soriano, Angels OF/DH Vladmir Guerrero, Twins P Johan Santana, Marlins P Dontrelle Willis, Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez, Red Sox 1B/DH David Ortiz, Braves OF Andruw Jones, Orioles SS/3B Miguel Tejada, Yankees SS Derek Jeter, Athletics 3B Eric Chavez, and Astros 1B/OF Lance Berkman.
