+This Baseball videogame is the first of its genre. There had been a [Baseball](/software/baseball-349/) videogame on the Magnavox Odyssey, but it was not really the same thing, half the action being with paper cards.
+
+This version is the first "real" baseball all-videogame. Many baseball games in the following years will be inspired by this one.
+
