World Series Baseball
World Series Baseball is a 1993 baseball video game released by Sega for the Game Gear and Sega Genesis. It is the first game in the World Series Baseball series, and was followed by World Series Baseball '95 in 1994. The game was a major advancement in Sega baseball games, in that it included licensed MLB players and teams (the first baseball video game to have both such licenses [previous baseball video games only had one license]; they are based on the rosters for the 1993 and 1994 MLB seasons), and relatively accurate gameplay.
