Baseball fans will admire Triple Play '97 for the way it represents the major league ballparks. I was amazed by the game's accuracy, right down to the stats on "Phanavision" in the background. Game control is very responsive, and the camera smoothly returns to the player's chosen field view. Gameplay would have benefited from more onscreen menus, especially for pitching. Players have to completely relinquish control of their batter in order to take a lead or steal, and this makes a hit-and-run very difficult to execute. The sound effects, presented in Dolby Surround, are fantastic. The game's announcer sports very few digitized hiccups, though most gamers would undoubtedly prefer a famous voice instead of the boyish one offered.
