Triple Play 98 is a baseball sports video game which was released in 1997 on the PlayStation and Microsoft Windows.
[4][5] The most widely praised elements were the realistic graphics and animation[18][20][16] and the comprehensiveness of the modes and features;[18][20][16] GameSpot called the PlayStation version "the most thoroughly complete console baseball game ever.
"[18] The unprecedented two-man commentary was also met with general approval,[18][20][16] though some found the low frame rate interferes with the gameplay.
"[20] GamePro gave it a 4.5 out of 5 for control and a perfect 5 in every other category (graphics, sound, and fun factor), saying, "Tuned for novices and pros alike, the gameplay's rewarding and fun, and really brings to life the intensity of the pitcher-batter confrontation.
"[16] In Japan, where the same console version was ported for release under the name Major League Baseball Triple Play 98 (メジャーリーグ ベースボール トリプルプレイ98, Mejā Rīgu Bēsubōru Toripuru Purei 98) on September 25, 1997, Famitsu gave it a score of 26 out of 40.
