The absolute, no questions asked, hands down best game for SNES. Get it. I've had it for 5 years and I'm still addicted. I have a Playstation, N64, Gamecube, and this game beats all.
Good, but the first one was better

Through the course of the Super Nintendo's reign of power, various companies released various baseball games, though none of them seemed to hit the spot. Finally, circa 1994, Nintendo themselves set out to change all that, with a baseball game featuring Ken Griffey Jr. The game was an enormous success, so Nintendo released a sequel. Read on for my review of Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run.
PROS:
-The controls aren't that tough to get the hang of.
-You don't have to be a sports fan to enjoy this game.
-The game uses real major league teams and logos.
-The game features a name editor.
-The graphics are VASTLY superior to those found in the original game.
-You can play a full season, exhibition games, all-star games, and even a home run derby!
-This game actually lets you control your pitches; you don't just select the kind you want like in some games.
CONS:
-The game doesn't use actual player names. Many of the players in the game were just named after Nintendo Of America employees.
-It's a little tough to get the hang of fielding.
-The game may confuse people not familiar with baseball games at first.
-The game doesn't have the precision pitch control that the original game had. I know, this adds to the realism of the game a little, but it ultimately ends up making the game worse, not better.
-The funny "striking out" animations from the first game aren't present here. Why not? They were one of my favorite things about the first game.
OVERALL:
If you have a Super Nintendo and you want to buy a baseball game for it, this is one of the better ones available. Actually, both this and the first Griffey game are both excellent, although I consider the first title to be superior for the most part. The Griffey games are your best bet if you're looking for a Super Nintendo baseball experience.
