Reception
The PlayStation version received favorable reviews, while the PC and Game Boy Color versions received mixed reviews, according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Air Hendrix of GamePro said of the PlayStation version, "With MLB 2001 still in spring training at press time, the jury is still out on PlayStation baseball this season. But if you're looking for fun, fast baseball and [you] aren't obsessed with realism, Triple drills another one over the fence." Peter Olafson called the PC version "a solid contender. Take the extraneous stuff out, build up a few features and you could have a classic. As it is, you have a memorable experience, with a sleek interface, fun extras, and impressive attention to miscellaneous detail. A little more work, and Triple Play 2001 could have scored the pennant." The game ranked 9th on NPD's list of Top-Selling PlayStation Games for the period of July 2 to 15 in 2000.
