'''''Tecmo Baseball''''' is a baseball video game developed by [[Tecmo]] for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. It was released in January 1989 exclusively for the [[North America]]n market.
There was a National division (comparable to the [[National League]]) and an American division (comparable to the [[American League]], although both divisions only featured seven teams each. Five of the seven National teams were: St. Louis, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Chicago and Atlanta. The American division teams were: Minnesota, Detroit, Milwaukee, New York, Boston, California, and Texas.
 
==Summary==
All the players on the teams had names and statistics similar to those of real Major League ballplayers. A player on the Detroit team was named Arex but his statistics were those that [[Alan Trammell]] of the [[Detroit Tigers]] had in [[1987]]. The best teams in the game were St. Louis and Minnesota, the two teams that also played each other in the [[1987 World Series]].
There are three modes in the game; one-player, two-player, and watch ([[zero-player game|zero-player]]). In addition to games between teams, there is also an [[all-star]] game with the best players in the game.
