RBI Baseball was released as an unlicensed game in January 1987.

After a Tengen-Nintendo lawsuit, a licensed version was released in 1988.

The game was licensed by Major League Baseball, but it did not use team names. It did use real player names in a twist.

The eight teams included New York, California, Detroit, Houston, Minnesota, St. Louis, San Francisco, Boston, and two all-star teams.

Players in the game include Andre Dawson, Nolan Ryan, Jose Canseco (bleh), Roger Clemens, Mark McGuire, and George Brett among others.

RBI Baseball was programmed by Peter Lipson.
