Even Babe Ruth got retired
As soon as a developer commits to annually updating its sport titles, it also commits to throwing away a game every 12 months.

For that reason, the 2009 edition been rolled into the Baseball Superstars Free release, which gives players interested in the series an open way into the game, while letting Gamevil make some money through the adverts it's now placed in the game.
