As in real baseball, the object of the game is to score the most runs. Up to two players are supported. Each player can select from one of six teams. Although there is no difference between them other than uniform color, they are meant to represent the six members of the Japanese Central League. However, they do bear some resemblance to some Major League Baseball teams:
A team: Oakland Athletics
C team: Chicago Cubs
D team: Los Angeles Dodgers
P team: Philadelphia Phillies
R team: Kansas City Royals
Y team: New York Yankees

Game notes
Probably due to the NES's limitations, the gameplay itself is rather limited. Although the player could pitch and bat well enough, fielding was almost entirely automatic. The CPU would control any fielder who did not have the ball, meaning grounders and pop-ups would have to be fielded without input from the player. Once a fielder grabs the ball, he can then be controlled, although he cannot move except for a base.
In the NES release of the game, the six playable teams were changed to represent MLB pennant winners of the early 1980s.
An interesting glitch was the "super slow pitch" that could be produced when A and START were activated at virtually the same time on the pitcher's controller. The only way to reliable reproduce this was to unplug and reconnect the controller to the NES console at a bit of an angle. The pitcher began his wind up and the game would immediately pause. Upon unpausing the game, the pitcher would finish his delivery, releasing a pitch between 0 and 15 mph.
