What this is
In Baseball Highlights: 2045, players build a championship baseball team filled with Naturals, Cyborgs, and Robots. Many Naturals have named themselves after the great players of pre-2032 baseball by taking a first and last name borrowed from different star players of the past. In this quick and interactive game, two players build their teams as they play, combining both strategy (building their team) and tactics (playing the game) without any of the downtime.
