I dedicate this to the NES fans out there, as this one is part of the NES
FAQ completion Project of 2004, courtesy of the FAQ Contributor Board. We
honour the most truly awesome and great system... the Nintendo Entertainment
System! Never mind about Atari, Commodore 64, Colecovision, Sega Master
System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, or any of the
newer systems, we all know that the good old NES is where true gaming is at!

Also, for Cougar, Howler, and Koonce. I miss you, and I hope you are living
it up in the afterlife as you did in this world. You will always be in my
memories, and you will never be forgotten.

1) Here is the second installment in four Baseball games for the NES that
were rather popular. Along with the R.B.I. Baseball series and
Baseball Stars series, these were the dominant Baseball games for the
great Nintendo Entertainment System. This game makes use of a password
system, allowing a player to play through the teams to win the pennant
over a 130 game regular season, so why not pick a team and get on your
way?

____________ ______
| Name |E.R.A.| Boston has an impressive starting set of pitchers to
|____________|______| choose through here as they have Crown, Juarez, Angel,
|Borrow | 4.44 | and Kaldec who are all respectable at around 3.00 or
|____________|______| lower. The remaining four pitchers will work your
|Kaldec | 3.02 | relief innings a lot (first drawing on the second of
|____________|______| the pair of good pitchers you will have to decide on).
|Imhoff | 4.32 |
|____________|______| All in all, a strong starting unit that will have one
|Angel | 2.40 | good reliever to come in on after. Following that
|____________|______| though you are taking your chances, but it is still
|Juarez | 2.74 | among the best bullpen in the game.

____________ _______ _________
| Name |Average|Home Runs| A very powerful line-up, Norton and Wise
|____________|_______|_________| being the only weak links. This impressive
|Bahr | .254 | 11 | array of sluggers can knock the ball all
|____________|_______|_________| over the field as well as into the cheap
|Smith | .265 | 16 | seats, so it will be a rare game where your
|____________|_______|_________| impressive starting line-up will not a good
|Deeff | .317 | 24 | amount of runs to work with. Wise is a
|____________|_______|_________| brutal player, so you may wish to replace
|Teylan | .331 | 33 | him, but the rest are good enough or better
|____________|_______|_________| to be in the starting line-up.

|Davis | .250 | 1 | great starting line-up. However, Stark is a
|____________|_______|_________| decent hitter, a solid replacement for Wise,
|Hirata | .286 | 2 | giving a slight upgrade in the batting

____________ ______
| Name |E.R.A.| Well, they may have some very presednetial names, but
|____________|______| they obviously never trained too frequently cause they
|Ford | 4.38 | are a very poor staff. Other than Spiro, they all
|____________|______| clear 3.00 in E.R.A., making for a weak starter every
|Nixon | 3.32 | game. To further complicate matters, only Nixon or
|____________|______| Budgit are really suited for relief, because anything
|Regan | 6.22 | following them is a few runs waiting to happen. Regan
|____________|______| (god the rest the true Reagan's soul) should never see
|Bush | 3.38 | the mound unless the game is insanely out of reach,
|____________|______| allowing you to rest your better pitchers while he
|Quail | 3.20 | gascans it up on the mound for a while.

____________ _______ _________
| Name |Average|Home Runs| Although every guy in the line-up can hit a
|____________|_______|_________| homerun, only North is a consistent threat to
|Abzug | .282 | 2 | do so (you may wish to move him farther up
|____________|_______|_________| the list to make him get more at bats through
|Porter | .281 | 7 | the season). The other problem is that only
|____________|_______|_________| the first three batters and North also hit
|Forest | .292 | 11 | for good batting average totals, making the
|____________|_______|_________| four through eight spot mostly innefective
|Bradly | .263 | 9 | for getting the base runners needed to score
|____________|_______|_________| runs. Most definitely a line-up that
|Oneill | .260 | 8 | depends upon it star players to pull it
|____________|_______|_________| through (and they better because the
|Kean | .268 | 12 | pitching staff is a fire hazard just looking
|____________|_______|_________| for a reason to flare up).

|____________|_______|_________| copies of the current line-up's lower end
|Pardo | .277 | 3 | hitters. Hall is a good hitter, so
|____________|_______|_________| substitute him in for Meese or Spend, giving
|Speaks | .258 | 9 | your line-up an extra slap hitter with a bit
|____________|_______|_________| of long ball power to back it up.
|Hall | .303 | 9 | Otherwise, this bench will remain largely

____________ ______
| Name |E.R.A.| Not a strong staff overall, you do have a couple
|____________|______| reliable (not incredibly good but reliable) starters
|Ho | 4.22 | in Kane and Mellor. However, the relief corps is one
|____________|______| of a sad tale of washed up old guys and underachieving
|Suess | 3.80 | young guys (if age was revealed in these games),
|____________|______| offering the potential of a huge surrendering of runs
|Kane | 2.94 | without a moments notice. A truly lackluster line-up,

| Name |Average|Home Runs| A line-up of three portions, it begins with

|Devito | .256 | 2 | becomes insanely good and consistent with
|____________|_______|_________| Fuller, Lundie, Suelze, and Brano, followed
|Nelson | .267 | 1 | by the decent trio of Fell Danger, and
|____________|_______|_________| McFee.
|Fuller | .294 | 22 |
|____________|_______|_________| Other then the starting two hitters, this

|____________|_______|_________| replace Devito and Nelson in the original
|Oliff | .250 | 2 | starting line-up, making it a superbly oiled

|Seitz | 1.64 | almost every other team, so you have complete freedom

|____________|_______|_________| competent line-up that possesses great power
|Prokop | .294 | 12 | and/or batting average at every spot in the
|____________|_______|_________| line-up. Only Weir shows no sign of being
|Weir | .333 | 0 | able to go deep with the ball, but he will
|____________|_______|_________| get on base a lot via slapper hits. The
|Siano | .281 | 11 | rest can get on base as well as hit for the
|____________|_______|_________| fences, so you will have a good run support
|Jacobs | .281 | 24 | net for your pitchers more often than not.
|____________|_______|_________| Not quite as potent overall as a few other

----------------------------Offensive Strategies----------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

6) This section will look at some strategies to help score some runs.

i) Try to let pitches that appear to be sliding away from the Plate go,
as getting a couple Balls counting against the opposition will force
them to give you better pitches to swing at, increasing the likelihood
of getting a hit.

ii) Try to swing at balls that are on the far side of the plate or down
the middle area. Inside pitches are the toughest to make good contact
on, so you will see a lot of them. Try to out wait the pitcher and
start cracking on those juicy pitches.

iii) Although it may be tempting, stealing bases are a very hard thing to
do in this game. It is an activity that should only be tried every
now and then, trying to anticipate when a slower pitch will be thrown
by the hurler, allowing for some extra time to reach the next base.
Stealing Home Plate is nearly impossible (far below 1%) unless you are
pulling a double steal to confuse the opposition.

iv) When a ball is hit high into the air and it appears as if a fielder
can make a play for the ball, try to hold the runners between their
current base and the next one by alternating between the
DOWN + A Button to the DOWN + B Button. If the ball is caught, use
DOWN + A Button to return all runners to base, but if it drops in, use
DOWN + B Button to get them all started toward their next base.

v) Sometimes you will have a runner on Second or Third Base with no one
behind you on the previous base, sometimes it is best to hold your
position as opposed to advancing. This holds especially true for a
ground ball (if it is on the left side of the field, definitely hold)
as your player could get caught in a rundown if you are careless on
the base path. Wait and see if the fielder is going to pay any
attention to your runner before taking flight.

vi) When you see a deep outfield fly ball, have your runners on Second and
Third stay on the Base. As soon as the ball is caught, send them
running for the next Base on the tag up. Just be ready to turn them
around and send them back if the throw looks like it will beat them to
their destination.

vii) Always be on the look out for where the throw from the outfield is
going to which base. If it is not the one that a runner can advance
to, take off running as the time it takes to reach the intended target
will likely allow the runner to reach that extra base, increasing the
chance of their scoring. Just be wary of a player who can cut the
ball off from it's target, as these can really mess up your plans.

viii) Sometimes sacrifice is the best way to get runners into scoring
position. This is especially useful for when your bottom of the order
is batting (they hit poorly for the most part) and you have at least
one runner in scoring position with one or none out. Perform a half
swing to get the bat over the plate, and then move it to the position
that the pitch is headed, knocking the ball into play. If done
properly, the advancing runner(s) will be too far into their strides
(send them on stealing a base to help their chances while you are
bunting), leaving the opposition no choice but to throw to first for
the force out, allowing the runners to enter into scoring position.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------Defensive Strategies----------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

7) This section will teach how to field to keep the opposition off the
scoreboard.

i) When it comes to pitching, try to keep the ball on the corners of Home
Plate. This will not only make your opponent think on if the pitch
will be called a strike or not, but it will also make it more likely
that an opponent will end up ticking the ball or popping out due to
poor connection on the ball.

ii) Try to get ahead in the count when pitching. This will make for less
care at the plate by the batter, making them more likely to chase a
ball that is out of the strike zone.

iii) If an opponent rockets a ball high into the air, you will need to
figure out which fielder you want to play the ball as soon as
possible, which will allow you to start moving in the direction that
fielder will need to move to make the catch. Even though you will not
be able to get control of them immediately (closest fielder is in your
control), by moving that fielder out of range will allow you to gain
control sooner, allowing for some extra time to get underneath the
ball. Keep in mind this is best suited to high, fly balls, reaching
the outfield.

iv) When your Second or Third Baseman fields a ground ball and a runner is
approaching their base, let them run to tag the runner out or step on
the bag. This will keep the runners as far from home as possible,
minimizing their scoring opportunities.

v) Sometimes you can fake out an opponent by pretending to miss the ball,
which will get them to try and get an extra base. If done properly,
you might catch them being greedy and off-guard, allowing for an out
where one did not exist. However, just be sure that you will hold them
to where they are if the out is not attainable, as losing a base to
them is not what you want to be doing.

vi) As stated in iv), whenever possible, get the lead runner out. This is
especially true for when a force out is to be had at a base across the
diamond, so go for it, remembering that a fast runner will sometimes
make the force out impossible, thus demanding you get the force out
elsewhere.

vii) While on the topic of force outs, if you have two out already, any
out will do, so get the easiest possible out you can. This means you
must be aware of the out totals at all times, but it is not that tough
of a thing to be doing after all!

viii) If you can keep the batters from hitting the ball consistently, you
are more likely to pick up the W (ie win). Another way to help out
your chances of victory are to keep the balls rolling on the ground,
so keeping your pitches low and inside on the batter will help with
this, though nothing is guaranteed.

--------------------------Player Biorhythm System---------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

8) This section will examine how the Biorhythms of a player will affect
their performances.

o-------------o
| What Is It? |
o-------------o

The three stats being tracked (Physical, Sensitivity, and Intellectual) are
three main stats that affect your player. The ratings are done on a
continually shifting scale of minus attribute to positive attributes.

o---------------------------o
| What Do The Numbers Mean? |
o---------------------------o

Well, the higher the number, the stronger the afect upon their regular
abilities. Negative numbers mean that a player will not play up to their
potential while positive numbers mean they will play above their usual skill
level.
