Welcome to the first world Ken Griffey Jr.'s classic SNES baseball game blog. I created this blog to share my passion and talk about this classic game from 1994. Hints & tips, melee stats, talks & words with pics and vids will be there. If you are a fan too, left comment!
One particular thing we can say about this Ken Griffey Jr's baseball game is that Steve Pamerlo's voice is really unforgeable. Everyone who played this game remember those voice's sounds. Just play the sample stand-alone and some people who hasn't played this game in years will recognize the voice like "Hey, where the fuck I already heard that?" Then, put the game on, haha. Here is what the official instruction booklet who came with the game says about Steve :« His career highlights also include umpiring two of the most famous games in New York Yankees history. In 1978, he worked the Yankees one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway Park to determine the AL's Eastern Division winner. Palermo, serving as the third base umpire, signaled "fair ball" when Bucky Dent hit the game-winning home run. On July 4, 1983, Palermo worked behind the plate for Dave Righetti's no-hitter against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.
On July 7, 1991, he and several friends were dining after a Texas Rangers game when they were alerted that two waitresses were being mugged in the parking lot. In an attempt to apprehend the assailants, he suffered a bullet wound to his spinal cord, resulting in instant paraplegia. It seemed that Palermo's umpiring career might have ended as doctors told Palermo and his wife, Debbie, that he would probably never walk again. Through rehabilitation and a lot of determination, however, Palermo managed to recover, walking with the use of one small leg brace and a cane. »
«The voice you hear in Ken Griffey Jr. Presents: Major League Baseballbelongs to American League Umpire Steve Palermo. Since breaking into the league in 1977, Steve has received many accolades and been involved in hundreds of big games. Throughout his career, Steve has appeared in 5 American League Championship Series (1980, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1989), 1 All-Star Game (1986), and 1 World Series (1983). Other historical events include the 1978 playoff between the Red Sox and the Yankees featuring Bucky Dent's unlikely, but timely, home run and working home plate during Dave Righetti's no-hitter in 1983.»Pretty strange to say, but the White House's homepage has a official Steve Palermo biography because he is the White House Tee-Ball Commissioner. (????) (I thought that Tee Ball was for little kids before playing baseball with a pincher who throw a ball instead of putting it on a stick.) (After reading a bit on this, I found out that it's a special Tee Ball game where all the kids who is playing has permanent injuries like Pamerlo himself.)

"The longest verifiable home run distance is about 575 feet (175 m), by Babe Ruth, to straightaway center field at Tiger Stadium, which landed nearly across the intersection of Trumbull and Cherry."I think that this is not only a coincidence that in KGJPMLB you can't hit a home run over 575ft. It's just a wink at Ruth's mythic hits! "No body can beat the ultimate home run made by Ruth. We, the programmers, will not made possible the hitting of a 576ft's home run. No." By the way, in the game, the "575ft-home-run-hit" is not happening rarely. In my "career" I actually made some with little boy like Island or Queen, for the Yanks. The computer made some against me too. But it's so nice to see that ball exiting the ballpark at that speed! Next time, I will have a thought about you, Ruth, haha!
