I need a game with a home run derby

Back in the day my friend played this PS1 game called Triple Play 2000. It had a home run derby mode, and you didn't have to play on baseball fields exclusively. One option was a giant kitchen, and you had to try to hit dinner plates and whatnot to score points.

Does anyone know if there have been any other baseball games with such a mode? A really good home run derby would be nice, but I really want to break plates.

But, if you are after mere parlor tricks, you will be sorely disappointed. For if I reach behind your ear, it will not be a nickel I pull out, but your very soul!

    I can't help, but I know the game mode you're talking about, and it was sweet and awesome good times.

    I think The Bigs had one in Times Square.

    Yeah, The Bigs has a mode called Home Run Pinball. It's set in Times Square and you get points for hitting things with baseballs. (Awesome, right?) It plays basically like a mix between a home run derby and a game of pinball. You have a set number of balls, like in pinball, so if you fail to hit a pitch you lose a ball. Also like in pinball, you can get bonuses such as extra balls, multi-balls, multipliers and the like. There's also a normal home run derby mode, if you're into that.

    You should be able to find the game pretty cheap, I picked it up ages ago for $20 new for the 360. It's a good arcade style baseball game that's worth the price it's going for these days.
