's Winning Run is an arcade style baseball game, which was developed by Rare and released on the SNES in 1996.
Players can participate in five different modes of play, including Season, MLB Challenge, World Series, and Home Run Derby. The game features all twenty-eight Major League Baseball teams actively playing at the time of the game's release as well as two expansion teams that had yet to begin play: the Arizona Diamondbacks (Concept) and Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Because the game was unable to obtain the Major League Baseball Players Association license, Ken Griffey Jr. is the only actual player that appears in the game. All of the other players were given fictitious names along the lines of Muscles McFee, or Big Magoo.
