The My Sliders feature allows users to create their perfect game settings and upload them to the MLB 07 The Show server for others to try out.
Customer Review: It's a great game!
Though initially a little frustrating for me to learn how to properly hit and pitch (the first game was not a pretty score), eventually this has become one of my favorite games. It's pretty lifelike for PS2 graphics. Almost all aspects of the game are thought out.
Customer Review: Fantastic baseball game
This game is one of the best baseball games I have played over the years. It has a great presentation that feels like you are actually watching a real game. The announcers are right on and do not feel canned and corny. The game mechanics are solid and the game is polished and very close to real. My son loves this game and we play often and enjoy this game more than any other on the pc2.


I always look forward to baseball season. My love of baseball goes back to my childhood. I grew up in San Benito,Texas, in the Rio Grand Valley. We did not have much winter weather so we usualy played baseball year round. The closest pro team was the Houston Astros, those ugly uniforms. We went to see them several times at the Astrodome, worst ballpark ever built. But every summer I would go see my grandparents in St Louis. My Grandfather was a big Cardinal fan and I became a Cardinal fan at a very young age. I can remember the sound and smell of old Busch Stadium as if it were just yesterday instead of 30-40 years ago. I always remember my Grandfather ordering a "short beer" from the beer man, when asked why he called it a "short one" he said cuz it only lasts a short while. My favorite players were Lou Brock and Bob Gibson. To this day when I play the lottery I pick 21 and 45 in their honor. Bob Gibson was such a competitor, I remember after Bill White was trades to the Phillies, Bob Gibson threw a fast ball high and inside to brush him off the plate, Bill White was upset and asked Bob Gibson why he did that after being team mates for years, Mr Gibson told him you are on the other team now. I always admired the way he played. His record is not as good as some players in the Hall of Fame but then the later years of his career he played for some very bad Cardinal teams.

Today I live in Springfield, Mo. which is the home of the Cardinal AA minor league team the Springfield Cardinals. The sounds of the game are still the same. Everytime I hear "BEER Here" or "ICE COLD BEER" from the beer man , I think of my Grandfather at old Busch Stadium and a "short beer". Maybe its the game I like to watch but then again maybe its the memories that make me look forward to baseball season.

Hey we are still in 1st place. GO CARDS

Baseball Season - Its Almost Here!
