About Sports Talk Baseball
Players can play either exhibition, regular season, all-star, or playoff games. The game also features authentic Major League Baseball rosters for the 1991 season. Gameplay commonly features double and triple plays, and only the fastest runners in the game are capable of stealing bases. It was one of the first video games to feature individual hitting abilities for each pitcher. Classic match-ups include Texas' Nolan Ryan versus Oakland's lineup with such all-stars as Jose Canseco, Rickey Henderson, Dave Henderson, and Mark McGwire.

Sega's talking baseball game, notable for its commentary and cheap to pick up.
Sports Talk Baseball is Sega's Genesis baseball game, released in Japan on 30 August 1991 as Pro Yakyu Super League '91 and in North America in 1992. It carries an MLBPA license and, according to a 1992 preview, more than 500 major leaguers, with play-by-play commentary from Sega's Sports Talk voice technology and a choice of a full season, half a season or a pennant run.
Electronic Games later said Sports Talk Baseball carried a ballgame's commentary to new heights.

“The graphics hit a solid .300. Using actual team colors makes the uniforms look cool, and the batters have different stances.”
“Apart from the smart speech, you’ve seen (or should that be heard?) it all before.”
“A blow-by-blow live commentary makes this stick out from the crowd but baseball was never meant to be on the console, as numerous offerings now indicate.”

How the Sega Genesis version differs
The Japanese Mega Drive version, Super League '91, replaced the running commentary with Japanese drums and a techno remix of the umpire voices at the menu.
In the Japanese version advanced statistics are only visible at the end of the game, such as errors and hits.
Electronic Games said the game carried a baseball game's commentary to new heights.
Before you buy
Among US carts it is below the middle. The Japanese loose cart usually costs about half the US one, while a complete Japanese copy costs about the same, and it has a different cartridge shape. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
