XBLA This Week - MLB Stickball

[fitbabits]

Chicago Cubs fans (of which I am one) - all is not quite lost (well, apart from your season - again). You can step in and take over where your heroes let you down by checking out this week's Xbox LIVE Arcade offering, MLB Stickball from 2K Sports.

Stickball - noun - a form of baseball played in the streets, on playgrounds, etc., in which a rubber ball and a broomstick or the like are used in place of a baseball and bat.

MLB Stickball will be available this Wednesday for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E by the ESRB.

I have very fond memories of playing stickball at my local school. We drew a box on the wall and just needed a stick and a tennis ball.

grounder past the pitcher? single.
fly ball past the pitcher, but before the fence? double
fly ball hitting the fence? triple.
Over the fence? cemetery. :D

Great, great times. I sucked. :D
