Smell the worn leather of your favorite glove. Kick the red clay off your cleats. And feel the rush as you step up to the plate.
It's all here in Grand Slam '97, the game that dives, digs and comes up with the most realistic baseball experience ever. Unlike the competition, you get absolute control over the speed and accuracy of each pitch, the strength and timing of each swing. You can even sprint forward to catch a grounder or back-pedal for fly-balls.
But for every move you make, advanced artificial intelligence is there to block a bunt or hang your base stealer out to dry. You're in the big league now in a game that plays by all the latest stats--giving you opponents that react just like the real-life pros. Add an unprecedented on-the-fly 3-D environment and you get every angle of the action, every second of the game.
