Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Super League Baseball series (3 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Sega
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Sports (baseball)
LANGUAGE:         English and Japanese

PREMISE:          Sega's original in-house baseball game especially coded
                  to promote sales of the then-new Genesis/MegaDrive.
                  Features the top lineups and players for the Central
                  League as of the date of coding.  "Central League?" you
                  ask.  In case you didn't know, professional baseball is
                  currently split into three major leagues - the National
                  and American, both in the United States; and the Central,
                  based in Japan.  Each has their own unique variations on
                  the standard rules of the game.

IMPRESSIONS:      Older pro baseball sims with a bit of a cartoonish look
                  to them now - that's after looking though dozens of
                  latter and superior titles.  Not bad, but why bother
                  unless you're really into the Central League?

VARIATIONS:       The Mega CD version features a celebrity endorsement by
                  Central League player Egawa Sugoru.  It is possible,
                  although not yet proven, that his mug may appear on the
                  Super League game released as Tommy Lasorda Baseball.
                  More information would be appreciated.

                  Super League Baseball (1989, released to the Amercian
                    market in a YACEG English translation as Tommy Lasorda
                    Baseball)
                  Super League Baseball 91 (1990, Japanese release only,
                    new team rosters and a somewhat improved game engine)
                  Sports Talk Baseball (1992, practically the same as Super
                    League 91 but in English and with American MLB teams)

                  There apparently was a Japanese version of Sports Talk
                  Baseball released for the Mega CD; see appropriate entry
                  for details.

True story: After losing another game by some ungodly score and having to listen to the announcer's annoying voice with its critical assessment of my play, I ripped the cartridge out of the genesis without turning it off and grabbed a small dumb bell and pounded a hole right through the damn thing. That was the first time I saw what was inside a cartridge...

"anonymous" is a moron. sportstalk was the best baseball game for sega, and possibly the best baseball game for any system ever. it was the first game to have a tv-style presentation. game play was pretty smooth. there were generally too many singles (even 2-1 games would have 10-15 hits per team), and occasionally you'd have a string of 6-10 straight line drive hits up the middle, but generally this game was very, very good. other people i know who played the game or have read about on the internet liked this game, don't believe the one stupid opinion on this site above me. it would be nice is someone could make an updated rom for this game, since this game still has a lot of replay value

For anyone who wants more info on this game, i've started my own crappy little site on Sportstalk. If anyone has any extra info, or any info about the arcade precursor to Sportstalk Baseball, Clutch Hitter, that would be great. The site is at

Like I said in my last post, this was a great game that still has much replay value. Too bad there haven't been more people on this site to show their support for Sportstalk.
