Triple Play 2001 is back, with the same level of competition you've come to expect from this iconic baseball series. The game takes place in a unique storyline where it's up to the player to help a group of baseball legends, including Babe Ruth , Mickey Mantle , and others, compete against each other in Home Run Tournaments and other events.
The gameplay is as intense as ever, with fast-paced action on the field. Players will need to master their skills to hit home runs, throw strikes, and run around the bases before the opposing team can score. With improved player models and textures, Triple Play 2001 brings a new level of realism to the game.
One of the standout features of Triple Play 2001 is its customization options. Players can create their own unique player by importing their own face texture, adding a personal touch to their gameplay experience.
Triple Play 2001 was released on PlayStation on March 14th , 2000, and is available in the sports genre.
