''Triple Play 97'' is an early 3D baseball video game developed by EA Sports, a division of Electronic Arts, for PC and the Sony PlayStation. The game uses pre-rendered sprites of 3D-modeled players over 3D-modeled stadiums to simulate full 3D graphics, similarly to ''MLB Pennant Race'', released the same year for PlayStation. | ''Triple Play 97'' is an early 3D baseball video game developed by EA Sports, a division of Electronic Arts, for PC and the Sony PlayStation.

''Triple Play 97'' is the second game in the ''Triple Play'' series and second U.S.-released baseball game developed internally at EA Sports by the team sometimes known as Extended Play Productions, part of EA Canada. EA Sports developed two baseball games in 1995: ''Triple Play 96'', a 2D baseball game for Sega Genesis, and ''Pro Yakyuu Virtual Stadium'', a Japan-only baseball game for 3DO using 3D-modeled stadiums and pre-rendered sprites of 3D-style baseball players. ''Triple Play 97'' is an adaptation of ''Virtual Stadium'' or the U.S. market and PlayStation console, with the same game design and some shared art and sound assets. The game includes all 28 Major League Baseball parks, 3D-modeled and with slick intro cinematics for each showing the camera flying down into the park from above. | ''Triple Play 97'' is the second game in the ''Triple Play'' series and second U.S.-released baseball game developed internally at EA Sports by the team sometimes known as Extended Play Productions, part of EA Canada.
