		Baseball Stars was one of the first sports games to have data memory, therefore players could create a team, configure baseball league and play a season, and throughout the CPU stored cumulative statistics.
		Baseball Stars was also the first sports game for the NES to have a create a player feature; giving gamers the power to name their players, as well as their teams.

		There is a form of baseball mania that grips the nation from one prefecture to the next in the form of numerous publications, informed television commentary and everyday talk among ordinary Japanese “salarymen.” The fine points of the game seem to be as familiar as they are refined.
		Many baseball scholars agree this happed because a team of American stars, led by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, made a spectacular visit to the country two years earlier.
		Following the war, and as baseball expanded, two leagues (Central and Pacific) were formed, and the most powerful team to emerge was the Yomiuri Giants, a team that has since been likened to the New York Yankees.
