AndNow LLC, a developer of interactive games, today announced that they have launched SmallBall Baseball, a unique, massively multi-player on-line baseball game featuring the tiniest players to ever strap on cleats. SmallBall Baseball allows participants to own their own team (or teams), train their players in the skills of throwing, fielding, running and hitting, and compete against other teams from around the world for fame, fortune, and international bragging rights. Most importantly, team ownership in SmallBall Baseball is absolutely free of charge for anyone – and there are no player salaries, arbitration, work stoppages, or any of the other negatives that have come to be associated with America’s pastime.
SmallBall Baseball is a labor of love for two former Sega game designers and hardcore baseball fans, Ed Annunziata and Gerry Blau, who became fed up with how money has ruined the sport they both love. “Our goal when we created SmallBall Baseball was to capture what makes the sport great, while leaving out the things that have plagued the game over the past couple decades,” said Annunziata. “SmallBall Baseball is America's pastime in its purest form - hitting, fielding, running and throwing -- without mega salaries, work stoppages, lawyers and free agency.”
The strategy of SmallBall Baseball is deep. Your “living” players will grow and evolve over time. As you observe their abilities you will determine their strengths and weaknesses, and how to train them. SmallBall Baseball is played in a public arena with an active community of other players that will see your every triumph, and your every failure! SmallBall Baseball is not about reaction time. You don't hit or pitch. It’s not a video game. SmallBall Baseball is a hobby based on one of America’s greatest pastimes.
