Microsoft Baseball 2001
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Microsoft Baseball 2001 is a baseball game made for the 2000 MLB season. It was one of the first "Baseball Mogul" games, which required players to act as general manager of an MLB franchise, forcing players to deal with realistic payroll constraints and city-related issues along the way. It was released by Microsoft and was somewhat popular, though the series has since been discontinued.
