Triple Play series

Triple Play series

"Triple Play" was a series of computer and video games based on Major League Baseball, published by EA Sports until their replacement by the "MVP Baseball" in 2003.

Most video game reviewers, including GameSpot, stated that other simulations (for example, Sega's version) were superior to "Triple Play", and its sales were lower; therefore, EA Sports decided to move in a new direction, beginning with the name change to "MVP Baseball". Here are the games in the series with the baseball athletes on the cover:

*Triple Play '97-Tony Gwynn of the San Diego Padres
*Triple Play '98-Brian Jordan of the St. Louis Cardinals
*Triple Play '99-Alex Rodriguez of the Seattle Mariners
*Triple Play 2000-Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs
*Triple Play 2001-Mike Piazza of the New York Mets
*Triple Play Baseball-Jason Giambi of the Oakland Athletics
*Triple Play 2002-Luis Gonzalez of the Arizona Diamondbacks

All of the games contained the rosters and schedules of the beginning of the season of the year before the one described in the name except for "Triple Play 2002". For example, "Triple Play 2001" contained the rosters and schedules of the 2000 season, and "Triple Play Baseball" (without a year) contained the rosters and schedules for 2001. This is a result of the tradition of listing the year the series ends in, basketball, football and hockey ending in a different year from when they started. Baseball is the only exception, as it begins in March and ends in October of the same year.

This game is also the only to feature left fielder Barry Bonds in all of its installments.

Secret team

* There is a hidden team in the games called the EA All-Stars a group of fictional baseball players based on people who worked on the game. A few of the players on the team are:
*Eric T. Kiss is a fat bald man with a small bat who can hit the ball 1300 feet+.
*Rob Anderson is freakishly tall but he wields a small bat.
*The pitcher has a huge head.
*Ronnie Blaze has no face at all, he is a red player model.
