Game Focus writes: "The 2009 MLB season is starting in a few days and after getting my hands on Sony's MLB 09 The Show a few weeks back, I was very excited to see what 2K and Visual Concepts were bringing this year to their MLB 2K franchise. After last years' strikeout, the developers are back with Major League Baseball 2K9, a serious attempt to fix the broken vases from last year."
