Baseball (originally released as Major League Baseball) is a baseball video game produced by Mattel and released for its Intellivision console in 1980. As the best-selling game in the console's history, with more than a million copies sold, Baseball put players in control of a nine-man baseball team competing in a standard nine-inning game. When first released, Mattel obtained a license from Major League Baseball, though the only trademarked item used is the MLB logo on the box art. No official team names or player names are in the game.
