“Baseball Blast! combines over-the-top baseball mini-games with your favorite MLB players and teams to create an entertaining Wii experience that everyone can enjoy," said Greg Thomas, senior vice president of sports development for 2K. “This casual take on America’s favorite pastime gives the entire family a sports game that they can easily master and play together this holiday season.”

Baseball Blast! features more than 20 different baseball-themed mini-games, including Fly Ball Fury, Dodge Ball, Power Pitcher, Bumper Base, Pennant Race and Galaxy Ball.

A challenging trivia mode will allow fans to test their baseball knowledge, including more than 100 questions that range from common baseball subjects to stumping even hardcore baseball fanatics.
