From Xbox 360 Fanboy:
Well this one came right out of left field. After two weeks of big name games hitting Xbox Live Arcade, we are greeted this Wednesday with MLB Stickball from 2K Sports. We know next to nothing about the title, though a pair of screenshots reveal what looks like stickball featuring super-deformed versions of familiar players from Major League Baseball. Gamescore Blog also notes that players can unlock baseball cards and earn extra points for hitting certain objects. So, breaking a window will earn points then? Count us in.
MLB Stickball will be available this Wednesday for 800 Microsoft Points.

"Gamers who are into sports games will need to check out the Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week this week to get their sports fix. Microsoft is offering discounts to four Xbox LIVE Arcade games, two game add-ons, and one avatar item."
While stickball is undoubtedly a sport with videogame potential, you're better of heading outdoors than playing on your Xbox 360 on this occasion. With just two single-player game modes and bare-bones multiplayer options, the 800 Microsoft points price tag is criminal.
One of the few sports games available on XBLA, it has at least as much replay value as some similarly priced games. Operation Sports can see 2K releasing this game on disc for the Wii and charging twice as much. Collecting players and a variety of fields adds replayability.
